Just to back up the good advice you received here with a little experience:



I bought a yearling that had been raised in a Rubbermaid (small) container. I thought "Hey, the snake is big enough for a 24" cage now!", so I put her in a brand new 24" Chondro cage. That was in May. She repeatedly refused to eat no matter what trick I tried. I covered the front, shoved more greenery in...no go...come September she still hadn't eaten.



It wasn't until I put her back into a smaller Rubbermaid container that I got that snake to eat. Once I got her back into that smaller environment it was like day and night! She felt more secure, and I got 4 meals down her in a row.



These snakes are like no others. They are very sensitive. Take that to the bank...cha-ching.
