I agree with egapal also, don't try feeding every night, get him on a 5-7 day feeding schedule, and if he refuses on the day he should eat, wait for the next round. Also like someone else said I'd get the enclosure out of direct sunlight, that will definitely effect the temps. Trying to escape however is not out of the ordinary. My bp hides all day, and hides for about 3 nights after he eats, then every night until his next feeding he's out exploring, or relaxing on his water dish, or stretching out and looking for an escape route. If he starts roaming during the day, then I'd worry.

P.S. LOVE the name Mitch, I love that movie lol.
