New Carpet Python owner needs advice

[gee]

So we tried feeding him again tonight. He's been covered up all week with only the fluro light at the top of the cage on and heat pad going. He runs away from the fuzzy when we dangle it near his face. Isn't interested in it at all. I have left it on a saucer over night but at this stage he has retreated to the far corner by his water tray. This is stressful for me, probably more than him though. I just wish he would eat something soon
