New Snake Owner, Questions!

Hello everyone, I got me a plebeian milk snake couple of days ago and it was my first snake. Well, it was my first pet ever.
The snake is about 5 months old I think, they didn't say.
Also, I have a 29gal terrarium.

I just had some random questions
  1. The local pet store recommended "Jungle Mix" substrate, so I got it... but it seems everyone has aspen bedding. Should I switch out the bedding.
  2. How do I determine the gender?
  3. Should the Water Dish be on the cold or hot side of the tank?
  4. How often should he be eating? Most online sources say weekly.
  5. When should he upgrade from pinkies to larger mice?
  6. Should the hiding rock be on the hot or cold side?
  7. I've had him for about 4 days, and he is always under the bedding. Is this normal?
