    Your post isn't quite clear to me...

    Are you using a UTH and is it on a thermostat?

    Sometimes mine will just lay out in the middle of their tubs. As long as he's eating and isn't lethargic or anything I'd say he's probably fine. Usually there's cause for worry when they're cruising their cage non stop and won't go into hiding. What do you mean he was out of his tank for one half? One half hour? Day?

    Maybe a snake Prozac is in order, I would assume they can be found next to the snake sausage.

    he was out of his tank for 1hour30mins while i was sorting everything out and he seems like he cant be bothered just moving his head nothing else, since last night he has gone into his hide, hopefully his shed is fine. and the mites are gone
