So I got a baby cherry head on tuesday and I have him in a 5ftx2ft enclosure with repti bark and coconut coir, I have a CHE tht keeps the temp in the low 80s, the whole thing is enclosed in a small green house cover thing, But he still doesnt seem to want to eat, any thoughts on why ?

Your little one is still settling in, give it some time to adjust and keep its food/water fresh and available. What is the humidity lvl inside the greenhouse?

Seems like he is just settling in to a new place. Give him a while and leave him alone as much as possible while still taking care of his needs.

Start with something really tempting to get him going. Something like Banana, Strawberry, or even some Tuna.
