Do your snakes hide a lot?
How often and when will your snakes come out of hiding, and how would you say this varies among species?
Re: Do your snakes hide a lot?
Yup. My balls usually only have their heads hanging out i
of their hides on feed day. My boas, my albino uses her hide all day, usually with just her head out, it as soon as the lights go out, she's up and about. My little hypo boy, rarely uses his hide. But he doesn't actively roam, he just hangs out on top of his hide during the day.

This morning as I was getting dressed, I was reaching into my sock drawer, where my Ball's tank sits on. I looked up to see if he was still in his cool hide and he was stretched out from his hide, a few inches above the ground, right in my face. Almost as if he was saying "hi"!
He will have his head hanging out of his hide periodically through the day. If I'm in the room doing things, he will pop his head out and watch what's going on. I'll occasionally catch him taking a sip of water or migrating from warm side to cool side. Working evenings I can observe more of his daytime activities, and they are a little more than one would think...just a bit. He is freshly fed as of Saturday night.
Night time, he really only comes out to roam around in the wee-hours of the morning. Then again, we're sleeping, so...
