I had one heck of a time getting mine to eat regularly. I had my temps and humidity all right, I tried not handling, I tried everything. After about six weeks with me he started eating regularly and he is now one of my best eaters. I feed him f/t pinkie mice right now but he is borderline to get stepped up to f/t fuzzy mice.
For caging make sure that it has a tight fitting top! They are small snakes that are great at squeezing into and through small spots. If mine were any smaller I would not use any cages that have sliding screen tops. I would use one that the screen tops sits on top of the tank and locks down with the clips.
Here are a couple of pics of my children's python enclosure... it is a 15 gallon "snug fit" critter tank.
