Feeding advice
Apologies in advance. I know feeding is a common question. I have a small python, and i finally got everything set about 2 weeks ago. I've left him alone since and i cant get him to eat. I have frozen hoppers, and everytime I offer a thawed one, he seems to be scared and turns away. I've had him about 3-4 weeks now. It's quite stressful on both of us. Anything else i can try? Anything to make it more appetizing or to somehow make him less stressed?
Thanks in advance.

Was he sold as eating on frozen or live?

Hind sight is 20/20. They just said hoppers. I use the tongs and shake him around. I don't think I can even find live ones around here.

Feeding advice
In order for anyone to help you'll have to explain or take a pic of his enclosure.. Tell us your temps, Hot side /Cool side, how they are regulated, Hide status and how your preparing (warming and to what temp) and offering the F/T

The hide side has a UTH set at 92 degrees (with thermostat between mat and glass), the other side bottom is around 74-76 degrees usually.
The hide is shown. Humidity is usually 60-75%. He normally roams the cage several times a day, checking it out, using the water bowl, etc.
