I’ve heard they are picky so I tried everything squash, zucchini, carrot, greens, watermelon, tortoise pellets, spring mix, I don’t know why my baby won’t eat! He’s heat is at 95 and his humidity is an 80 I give him plenty of water to drink. I really need help I want him to survive but it’s been days almost a week since he touched food he just ignores it like it’s not there.

Only the basking spot should be 95. The rest of the enclosure should be 80 day and night.
Post a pic of the enclosure and tell us what type of lighting and heating you are using.
As for diet, stay with greens and soaked pellets, not the other stuff you mentioned.
You also need to go to the breed section and read the caresheet.

Try to find out what the people you got him from were feeding him.
