Update: 09 male Lesser 'Lemon'
Hey Everyone! Guess what, he ate! Thanks to this forum and all the husbandry tips. :D What a relief, I guess that means he's comfortable in his home. Here's his setup, please excuse the paper towel tubes, I thought he might like a tunnel from his warm hide to the cold one lol.

Just one problem, I had to give him a live rat pup. Breeder told me he was fed live mice from tongs. So first I tried offering a f/t mouse from tongs, even used the hair dryer on it, but he just looked at me like I was crazy and went to hide.
Then I offered the live rat pup from tongs, and he ignored me again. It wasn't until I left the rat in there with him for 10 mins and pretended to leave the room, then he ate it.
I have to convert him to eat f/t because I almost kept this as another pet:
