My BP went into his hide for the first time ever.

I'm not sure if there's anything wrong. But I just want to be sure there isn't. I've owned my ball python for a year now, he's 3 years old, usually active in the middle of the day. But two days ago, he went into his hide, which is a smaller one, so he only fits halfway in. Which is cute, but I'm just wondering why he's just not deciding to hide there.

Thanks !

Possibly too small. They like it tight but also to be fully in the hide.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

What type of enclosure is he in? If not in a tub, he should have at least two hides, big enough for him to get his whole body into.

Is he darkening up for a shed? Maybe not quite in the blue yet?
