Give him time, he needs to settle in. My baby boa didn't eat for almost 3 weeks when I first got him. Double check your temp gradients from hot to cold side, make sure he has at least one hide, although 2 is better. And are you handling him? Cuz you shouldn't handle a new snake until they have settled in and started eating regularly.

Don't worry too much about his not eating yet, it can take a bit of time, and they can go a long time without eating, it doesn't mean he's starving. I wouldn't be too concerned at this point, but I understand your concern.

good luck!
