I finally change my 13 inch snake from his 15 gal to a 33 gal...he seem to be really pissed at me ..lol... Since then he is hiding behind a flower pot ! How long can he stay mad and hide like that ? I guess until he got very hungry...lol. How long can a snake stay without food ? Until now he had eaten almost everyday ! Well maybe more every two day is more like it. I had plan to put him in a bag to help him finish is shedding (the post down) but i think i will wait until he stop acting like a spoiled child, lol.

You bet, new surroundings can really stress him out but it's nothing he can't get over. Fortuneately snakes are really curious so he'll spend hours, probably at night checking out his new home. His first priority will be to find a hide spot that is suitable to him. He may try several so make sure you offer him choices at various temperature grades. Like you say though, as soon as he's hungry he'll come running. Likely once he eats for the first time in his new home he'll get real laid back again!

You should really make it a priority to get that leftover shed off.

It will just take awhile for it to adjust to his new enclosure.
