Rookie owner here...and I would like your opinions. I'll be honest, when my girlfriend and I were buying the stuff for Wasabi's enclosure, we were going for "looks cool and could be functional". Basically we have a tall tower that he used to spend all of his time in (because it's directly over the uth), but since I made a little shelf for him to hang out on inside of his aztec head....he is ALWAYS in there....and it is on the cool side. This has me slightly worried because everything I've read says they need belly heat after eating. He's an excellent eater and has even eaten mice after he's popped them, but as soon as we put him back in his enclosure, he runs (if a snake could) for the aztec head and I'm paranoid he's going to have digestion problems.

We fed him Friday afternoon and he went right up into the head, but came back out shortly afterwards and laid out in the open for a bit. Is that odd?

What I'm getting at is that he had 3 hides, and only uses one. He used to alternate between the head and the cave, but since I put that little ledge in the head he only comes out after his day light(for heat because my apt. is cold) clicks off. Is it "stressful" to change hides? I'm thinking of just putting something else in there, because I CANNOT get him out of the head if I want to.....mostly because he positions his teeth directly in my way. He's only 6 months old and still slightly feisty....

Let me know what all of you think. Thanks in advance!
