    Is it okay to lift hides to check temps? Will it cause stress?

    Basically, my area has been having lots of thunderstorms lately, and occasionally the power will go out in half my house.
    So my bedroom will have electricity but I often find my snake's room to lose power without me knowing, which means the UTH will go out.
    Basically my question is....is it okay to lift the hides (cool and warm) 1-2x a day to use my temp gun to check temps?
    I have a new baby ball python- he's 2 months old, I've had him for 1 month, and I've been trying everything in my power to decrease his stress and establish our trust. I don't want to stress him.
    He's under one of the hides all day. Great eater but scared often.
