Of course you'll find sometimes even when conditions are perfect they won't eat (even hungry) just to tick you off.

He ate the first week I got him but then I had to change substrates so i think I've upset him a little bit. Temps are good and I saw him hiding in the hot side pot this morning so I hope he's settled in by feeding day(Tuesday). I'm thinking I may let him eat in his cage to avoid upsetting him further.

Congratulations. Want be your last

He hasn't quite settled in yet. He's been roaming a bit at night, is that normal. Could he be looking for food? He refused last weeks meal.

Welcome to your new vice. He looks great and good job on changingthe substrate so fast!
You may want to black out the sides of the tank. Will help him feel enclosed and not on display lol.

Congrats on your first. It only took me a couple of months to get my second :) Keep us posted with more pictures soon.

So, he yawned the other day and it was the coolest thing ever seen. I was worried a little till I read that's just something they do. It was beyond adorable.

Welcome! :D
I use that bowl too. Cheap and cheerful! And some of mine hide under them. Haha. Just found that funny.

Yes he seems to like hiding under it.

Congrats on your first two snakes.

Also you may want to get two identical different hides.

Why? Are the clay pots are no good?
I set it up so there's 3 hides. Warm hide to the left, moist hide in the middle (off the heat pad) and 3rd is under the space around the water bowl.
Btw, he seems settled in pretty well. Mostly hides in the warm hide, head poking out. Rest of the time he's under the water bowl.
