Hiding..forever?

Well about a month ago, I kind of gave my tank a new make-over, making everything better. Temps are perfect, but I still have a bit of a humidity problem since I am in a mesh-top tank, but I spray a lot, so I'm okay. Well when I did the make-over, I replaced the hide on the hot-spot with a much smaller one. My old one was way too big. This new one is much snugger and gives my BP (Tilly) a much tighter fit. Well I've heard that a happy BP is one that you never see, but, literally, I've only seen Tilly out of his new hide like 3 times since like a month ago. I know they usually come out at night, but I've been staying up VERY late due to the massive amount of culminating projects I'm getting at school, and I still don't see Tilly coming out. He practically stays in that hide 24/7. Is there anything I should actually be worried about, or am I just another worry-wart!

Thanks guys!

Not if he's happy with the temps in his hide ... his choice. ;)

If you have two hides that are exactly alike, then you can rest assured that he is choosing temps over security. No biggie. I swear mine stay in their warm hides a lot too. ;) Each snake is different. :D

Ok well, I picked up Tilly's hide to see if anything was wrong and....he's about to shed!!! Well that maybe explains his hermit-ness. So I bumped up the humidity A LOT, and stuck some sphagnum moss under the other hide. Now I'm praying to the shedding gods for a good, one-piece, clean shed ><

You might want to cover part of the mesh lid to help keep in that humidity. I hear that Reynolds Press N Seal stuff is great for that. Also make sure both hides are identical as some of them will pick a favorite hide and if the other one is different they won't budge even if they need to LOL
