To soon to move again?

Well Ive had my snake since saturday, and he seems to be getting less shy. Fed him yesterday, but haven't held him yet. He is currently in a small critter carrier which will be his feeding cage after I move him.

I have a 20 gallon tank all set for him to move into, with plenty of hides etc. It's currently occupied by a gecko, who will be moving out this weekend. Is it to soon/stressful to move him to the bigger tank that soon?

Just trying to minimize the stress...

Thanks!
 
i agree or if the critter tank is just the tank you could put the tank in the new tank and let the snake get out on his own. That's what i did with my new snake that was in a petco box. She came out all on her own and she's adjusted nicely. Little shy when my hands in the tank, but other than that i have no complaints. Gonna feed her tomorrow.
 
It's probably the best time, like a continuation of the same displacement. If you move him now he will be getting used to a his more permanent habitat instead of re-acclimating.
 
Currently the smaller tank is in the big tank with the gecko (sharing a UTH) but nothing is set up yet, still need to cook my driftwood...

Thanks for the advice so far!
