is the shoe box not too small? he is around 13 inches long

At 13" I would say a shoebox is almost to BIG. A smaller space will help your snake a great deal in eating. Mine do much better in smaller spaces when they are being raised up. Gives them security and the temp and humidity can be regulated better.

Just my opinion on how i do things. I am sure most people will disagree.
