To hide or not to hide?

recently acquired a new ball python, the breeder/seller I bought it from doesn't use hideboxes on his snakes. On the other hand I put hideboxes on all my snakes' tubs, if my new snake can do without a hide, must I leave it alone or he'll do better with one?

Thanks in advance

Put one in like you normally do, if he uses it then keep them, if he seems stressed then take them out.
