I would give him more time to settle in, as long as you see him still eat when he's hungary. What are you temps like?

Make sure temps and humidity is where it is suppose to be. Soak him every other day. Have water available 24/7 and give him time to settle in and realize you aren't going to eat him. Give him a handful of food and walk away until he gets used to you.

He just needs to feel safe in his environment. He'll be fine so long as he's eating, pooing, and having his warm soaks. Keep us posted.
