    Staying in hide is usually a good sign, more then likely he/or she is out at night when its dark wandering the enclosure since bp's are nocturnal by nature or more likely to be out at night. I would be much more concerned if the bp never found a place it was comfortable with, so in short i would venture a guess being in hide during day is the behavior you want and they are out causing trouble while you are asleep:)

    My ball python isnt out hardly at all throughout the day. But gaurenteed sometime around 1, 2, 3, am i will hear him rustling through his artificial plants since its tank is practically at the foot of my bed. :)

    Yeah, my BPs do that for part of the week... usually 2 days after feeding, and maybe another day or two after that! They aren't the most active of creatures, and probably spend weeks hiding in the wild.

    P.S. I am pretty much nocturnal myself, so I observe them at all hours... and sometimes they don't even budge overnight. ;)

    Normal is the deffiante word there. If they are coming out often then you got something to worry about. I know it makes for a very boring tank but you just need to learn that BP's are more for the enjoyment of holding them.
