Bloods tend to get very nervous in large enclosures which leads to stress. Put him in something smaller, most people on here use rubbermaid shoe boxes for their babies 12Q size, as I do and I havent had a baby refuse feed yet. You also need to wait more before feeding after first getting an animal at min wait a week and then 10 days after that try again. Most of your other things seem fine but 95 seems dangerously high for a basking spot something more like 88 or so would be better. Bloods seem to thrive in ambient temps of around 82. You went way too extravegant on a tank for a little guy dont worry so much about hot spots and shrubbery etc a hide and a water bowl with 82 ambient temps will suit its just fine provided the enclosure isnt very large.
