Also, out of curiosity, are you letting him settle in? I ask because you posted new pics already. If you are handling him I would hold off until after he gets a few meals in him. I know, it's tempting to hang out with your new animal, but his well-being should be top priority. You'll have many years to enjoy him, so let him get settled and eating before you are handling him. He may continue to refuse food as long as he's being handled. Once he's settled and eating, then you can start handling him a bit more regularly. But I would let him get a few meals in him before handling him again.

If I'm wrong about you handling him and the pics are all from the first day I apologize.

Good luck!
I know right I have a huge soft spot for axanthics they're so beautiful ^.^ And no worries this is all from the first day
I've been leaving him alone except for water changes and temp/humidity checks. I feel like a helicopter mom though; I check the temperatures and humidity so often!! But I'm really happy because I've gotten the temps to a stable 80 and 90 And the humidity is around 58-60! Everything is going pretty smoothly
