    This is how this ding bat is 98% of the time. We’ve had him for about 3 weeks now. At first he used both hides, but now he just lays in that spot. Is it normal for them not to hide?

    He’s about 2 years old, from what I was told. When I picked him up, he had a half log hide that only half of him fit under. No overhead heating and a UTH that was barely attached and not even plugged in. He was SOOO cold when I picked him up.

    Is it possible that he’s accustomed himself to being out in the open and to cooler temps?

    He doesn’t seem stressed. He eats like a champ. Just took a huge poop. He’s the chillest snake I’ve ever met, as far as handling. He just hangs out on you. He lets his head be stroked. I’m at loss 🤷🏻:cens0r:♀️

    He has a UTH under the hot hide, controlled by a thermostat. Temp gun on glass reads 87-90 depending where I aim it. Cool side is 82-84. CHE is controlled with a dimmer
