There is no need to move the snake to feed it, just feed it in its home where he will feel safer.
I figured that would be better but I wonder why he didn't eat last night though because that's what I did. He was wandering around and completely ignored it. How long can he go without eating you think?

He can go pretty long. Don't try so often. Worrying too much can cause more harm than good. If you try to feed him often unsuccessfully it may stress him out even more. Just leave him be for a week and try again.
