Got a new crested gecko recently. He’s really scared of everythingq

I got a new crested gecko (his name is taco) and he is very afraid of everything. Everytime I open the cage he panics and runs around all crazy, tail wags at me, and opens his mouth defensively. It’s a miracle he hasn’t dropped his tail yet. I’ve had him for about a week and he’s only gotten worse.he won’t eat when I feed him (atleast not in front of me) and he refused some crickets I tried to give him. What should I do? He is in an 18x18x24, is a three year old super Dalmatian male. I have lots of fake and live plants as cover for him, several hides, and two different water dishes. I’m not sure what to do. I’m sure he just needs time but I’m still a little worried.
