The reason I told you to try pinkies is that we have no idea how you are caging the snake, temps, etc. So, a large meal could be trouble. Small meals are best until the snake is comfortable and feeding without issue, then jump up to larger meals. Also, a snake that is stressed from a move will sometimes be enticed by a pinkie moreso then a bigger meal. I'm glad to see that the snake fed. You did right IMO by trying thawed pinks first and leaving the snake alone.
