New BTS Owner, Skink hiding nonstop

Hello, I got my 5 month old BTS yesterday and he's been pretty much hiding ever since under the substrate, which I assume isn't unusual since he just got here yesterday but I was unable to feed him and from what I could tell he didn't drink from his bowl either. And I don't wanna dig him up either, so should I just wait for him to come out by himself and then feed him?

You can just leave something in there for him to eat. Eventually he will come out on his own.
New acquisitions, especially if imports, tend to be shy and secretive.

Alright thanks!
I'm honestly a little worried though since I haven't found any of his poop or pee since Day 2, hopefully he at least drinks while I'm asleep...

Don't worry this is typical behavior. Especially when in New environment. My bts is very socialized and not scare of me at all. He actually comes to glass to get me most of the time...that being said sometimes he will disappear for a week and I don't see him. Very normal.
