Do carpets usually hide?

[drshz]

Hi

I've cleared my mite issue and kept him in quarantine with just a water bowl for a week. Now he seems clean and free so i put in a hide, branches, substrate and leaves. But he's been in the hide since i put him in, checked him for mites again but none found.

My cornsnakes are always in their hides, do carpets do the same?
