He'll use what he wants to, heh. My boy goes through phases of playing favorites-- for awhile he only liked his half-log, and now he tends to stick under his sandstone hide. When he was smaller he used to just go behind a particular display rock with half of him sticking out on either side. As long as he feels secure, I don't care what he uses as a hide, lol.

Maybe you should take it out if he likes it the best . If you have identical hides, he will choose which one he actually needs to thermo-regulate, as opposed to which one he feels "safest" in haha

Re: what do you make of this?
I would take it out simply because if he's always on the cool side, he may not be digesting like he should be because he feels safer in the hides that he knows. Take it out and it will force him to use the new hides and thermoregulate properly.

Should I put the new cool side hide in place of the old one? I was thinking maybe he hasn't figured out the entrance of the new hide because it is down on the other end of the enclosure.

I would just use the two RBI hides. You can always pick him up and then when you go to put him back in the cage, stick his head near the entrance and he should go right in. Usually they don't have an issue finding hides.

Two identical hides, one at each end works great. Otherwise they sometimes sacrifice the heat they need in order to have security.

I took it out and He seems so confused. He keeps going in and out of the cool side and hot side.

He's officially stressed out. He is all over the place

I don't really understand why people insist we know what they need better than our snakes. What harm is there in leaving his safety blanket (hide) in the tank? He won't be in temperature danger as long as the ambient temps are sufficient. Who's to say he isn't cruising over to the hot side at 3am when no one is looking, and then back under the cork during the day? Perhaps he would like an 88deg hot spot better than a 92deg one, and that's why he stays on the cool side.
