I wouldn't be surprised if the shed last week was his first and this boy hasn't even eaten yet. I've noticed that my hatchling carpets are triggered strongest by movement. This is why hopper mice are often a successful prey item to get them started - they're one of the more active alternatives. I also have better luck getting them feeding in smaller spaces. The downside of the 10 gallon is that you can drop a prey item in there and if the snake isn't actively hunting, they might never cross paths in the allotted time. Hopefully he eats the fuzzy over night but if not, I'd be happy to offer some suggestions that have worked for me.
