New Male Panther not eating

[KillBillSNYY]

Got this guy from a very reputable breeder yesterday. Hasn’t eaten since I got him home (so about 24 hours) but I did observe him eat a lot while at the reptile expo. Looks very healthy and his breeder took amazing care of him. I have his basking spot between 80-85 degrees and occasional misting throughout the day. I don’t think it’s the environment but just stress of a new home that’s making him not want to eat. Was wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions on what I can do or just wait it out. He has crickets, hornworms, as well as dubias at his disposal currently.

It could be the new home. He will take a couple days to settle in. It looks like you may want to to a husbandry review because I don't see the recommended uvb

I did order T5 terrarium hood with a 5.0 bulb and will be here tomorrow. Just for today I have a generic UV bulb. I’m thinking if I leave him alone for a little bit he’ll eat. Might be a shy eater cuz he’s been moving around searching
