I would not feed him in that tub. Put him in his cage and leave the pink at the entrance of his hide overnight. As long as the cage is warm enough he will take it (80). Some snakes are shy and will not eat after being disturbed or even watched. Some only eat after dark. That pink is proper size for your snake. He will probably take 2 of those at a time for a while . Frozen / thawed pinks have a short life and get fowl quickly. If they don't eat overnight throw it out and try again in a couple of days. Most snakes do not eat when they are in a shed cycle. This can last a week to 10 days. Desert kings are very hearty and do well in captivtiy. You should not have any problems once he is use to his new enviornment and kept warm enough.
