Re: New Setup Causing Problems (maybe?)
He is probably just adjusting to the new set up. You just added a lot of new items into his environment and he's going to need a couple days to get settled in and comfortable before he starts exploring consistantly again. The most stress free area of his tank right now is going to be his safe secure hide, so that is where he is going to stay most of the time.
I am no expert by an means, but this is similar to the behavior my bp displays whenever I adjust anything in is set up, and he always starts acting normal within a week or two.

1.2 Southern Alligator Liazrds (Wraith, Magma & Annie)
0.1 Western Skink (Stella)
1.1 Leopard Geckos (Leo & Jade)

Re: New Setup Causing Problems (maybe?)
Oh good, that's reassuring! I always worry about these sorts of things but I was nervous I'd over-cluttered his tank or put something there I shouldn't have.
Thank you so much!

Re: New Setup Causing Problems (maybe?)
Give it a week before trying to feed or any handling, this is their adjustment period. Let him do his thing then resume normal practices with feeding and handling. I never see my BPs out during the day anymore unless it’s close to feeding time.

You said he is moving back and forth between hides during the day like normal. My limited experience is that it would not be normal for a BP to be moving back and forth between hides during the day. I could be wrong but I would be checking for something wrong if my BP was moving back and forth during the day. Others with more experience might chime in on that aspect.
