The fact that he has eaten once for you is a very good sign. And the fact that you have seen him hunting. Most likely he just needs to have a small dark space to feel secure enough to eat, since eating is a very vulnerable time for baby snakes in the wild.

I can also attempt feeding him later in the evening when he's had a chance for more time in the dark within his enclosure

This is Win's new set up. Hopefully this will be better as far as him feeling secure

That looks great! Very cluttered!

I agree, that looks better!
How old is he?

I'm not sure exactly. I got him from PetSmart on the 11th and they'd had him about a week

Is he a baby?
If he is an adult, one possibility is that it's breeding season, and some males will go off feed.

No he's definitely a baby. Just a few weeks old

Gotcha. I would limit handling until he is eating regularly for you. I think the clutter will help, but you want to avoid stressing him too much.

Yes absolutely. I won't attempt to handle him until he has eaten consistently 3 times
