It amazes me that he can sqeeze himself into it and sometimes he more or less "wears" it like a shell, kind of bulging out from under it. I thought the may be too small so I spent alot of money on some larger, jumbo rock caves, and he only went in them once to check them out and then he started camping out between the hides and tank.I figured he needed time to adjust, but after a week of this I just gave in and put the other hides back in and he's been using them ever since...
I had almost the same thing happen to me except I was moveing from the reptile basics medium to large.

I have to agree with Mike, but I will say a few more things sense you asked. If I were you I would throw out the word "like". Your snake wants 3 things normally and a 4th durring mating season.
Food
Safety
Correct Temperature
If its moving then its trying to find one of those 3 and if its not then its content.
You said your snake is eating and that tells us you are probably good. But you should keep in mind that you may only be good because your snake is in a tub. That same setup in a tank and your snake might get stressed and could stop eating.
I would say if you could fit another snake half its size in the hide then you need a smaller hide if you move to a bigger tub, display cage or tank.
If you want to try a bigger water bowl then you can keep your humidity down by putting more holes in the tub. A soldering iron in a well ventilated space will make nice even holes with rounded edges.
