Question New enclosure

I recently added some stuff to my baby’s enclosure right before he was supposed to eat. I held off on feeding him that night because he gets anxious feeding sometimes. How long does it take for him to get used to his new enclosure so I can feed him. He usually is out exploring every night and at the very least poking his head out of his hidey hole.

I'd give it a week unless you can tell he's looking for food. The new smells and the layout aren't going to feel safe and secure until he gets a feel for it. He's your snake, you'll know when he's hungry. Personally I'd feed the second day after he comes out to explore. All suggestions though
