Snake not coming out (Week)

if it's never shed and the eyes are clouded over, it might be digging for humidity to loosen the skin so it can shed, check the eyes.
it could also be digging because the temperature is too cool. How cool is the tank?
it could also be digging because you have a heat mat on the bottom of the tank. Do you have a heat mat under the tank?
What type of substrate is he on?
What/how many heat sources do you have?
Does he have a hide box that he can find total 100% darkness?

! heat lamp, no he can't get 100% darkness, I'm not sure the name of substrate but its like soft straw of something similar
how long have you had the snake?
how old is the snake?
do you have any pictures of the snake and the terrarium?
you can try
humid hide with moss
soaking him in warm water.
give him a rock or a log the rub the skin off
give him a water dish that is big enough for him to completely get in it

how about posting some pics of the enclosure and accessories and it will be a billion times easier for us to help you
can you pull the snake out and get a pic or 2 of his head, mainly the eyes?
the bedding is called "Aspen"
