I just want to add that feeding in the enclosure doesn't count as handling the snake. It sounded like you were combining those both from your post. People will wait a full week to settle a ball python, but they're more notorious at refusing earlier food offerings and typically only eat weekly anyway.

I'd go ahead and try to feed if it's been a day or two in its enclosure with you if you want to. This may not be a BP, but try to feed the same prey as the breeder was (lizard/toad scented pinky, unscented, etc.). From what I've read on here for hognose, it's especially important when it had been eating scented mice because that usually means it had been refusing the unscented mice. If it had refused for the breeder, it isn't likely to switch for your first meal while settling from a move.
