10 days is nothing to worry about and WAY too soon to think about force feeding.
A skipped meal could be caused by ALOT of things, including moving into a new home.
One thing I learned from my baby boa was that he didnt like to eat in a see through feeding tub. Is yours clear or opaque??
Wait a few more days -- DONT HANDLE HIM AT ALL DURING THIS TIME -- and then leave the food for him where he will be comfortable, even in his cage for now, near his hide. Start with a pinkie.
Once he eats that, you should be able to get him to eat in a seperate enclosure or tub.
My baby BP was very reluctant to feed when I got him, and it took maybe a month to get him into a pattern of regular and predictable feeding, and now at a big and healthy 8 months he is an eating machine.
GOOD LUCK AND STAY PATIENT!!
