How long has it been since the last successful feeding?
How long has it been since switching tanks?
Shrank 3" in length? Are you sure?

Do you have some sort of a feeding tray or tub that you use at dinner time for your snake? Many people use a separate feeding tub outside of the snake's viv. There are several reasons for this, such as not having to worry about the snake ingesting viv substrate, consistent surroundings for feeding (helpful for preventing situations like you are facing now), and a smaller and easier to clean area for feeding (very helpful for hatchlings).
