New to Snakes; worried about new guy?

Ok so he was just laying in bowl right after we put him in with new stuff, no dipping in now a day after. He refused to get into his new stone hide for the entire evening though. Also what do I do if he has mites?

To see if he has mites, place a white washcloth over your sink drain and pour the water from the water bowl over it. If you see black specks, then you have mites. They also are usually found along the jawline and chin of your snake. I believe there is a sticky about how to deal with them.

Sorry if I misread this but he had not eaten for you since you got him correct? If that is true then you should not be handling him unless you are cleaning his tank. Also if you have not seen a mite then don't worry. Bps soak for many reasons. He could be going into shed or maybe your humidity is low. Definitely clutter up his cage and maybe cover the 3 sides. Once this is done leave him alone for a week or two. Only get in there if you absolutely have to. Once he is comfortable he will eat. If he still doesn't, leave him be some more while you recheck your setup

Everyone else has given you some great advice, so I'm just going to chip in and say that Midas is beautiful. :D
