When it gets too hot, they simply shut off. It'll be much easier for you in the long run, as you won't have to constantly monitor and worry about his set up.

You'd be surprised how big of a feeder the little guys can take down. It's probably not too big for him, but if you're concerned I'd definitely get a live rat pinky if you can get your hands on one. But offer it after he's been settled for awhile and isn't stressed.
Thats what I am thinking hes stressed new smells and everything I own a dog (boston) and he could be smelling her and I live with my mother inlaw (due to epilepsy) and her bf and my little brother inlaw (of course my husband too LOL) and as far as I know I talked to a ride he said we will plan for tomorrow to get a tank (WOOT!!!) which honestly I have been aching to get him in one, I have a thermometer in his cage rate now. I wonder if they make heaters like ones that auto click off if it gets above a certain temp like fish tanks do ? I will hopefully getting a 10 gal tank for him tomorrow and put him in that and go back to scales and tails and explain my situation see if they can get him to eat.

Yeah I confuse people I try not too, but its my disability i have, my husband will thankfully be accompanying me to the store to help explain and get more info on what I need to know about my snake, cause I am doing everything I should be? but I just fear not eating I want him to be healthy cause one day I wanna breed him to a female pastel =D and yes I wanna be a breeder one day. My father inlaw said when he took Nate (his snake) to scales and tails and they fed him something smaller than what they were giving him before he ate it up. I honestly think my snake Xeno is the same position, Cause I know if you feed him too big could kill him or too small not enough food etc. I am thinking about talking to about a pinkie rat or 2 pinkie mice would work.
