Oh yeah definitely leave it in. Its not about whether or not your BP uses the hide on a regular basis its about creating the proper environment. What if your thermostat in your house malfunctions or someone turns up the heat without you noticing. If your house is 5 degrees warmer your snake might want to move to the other side. What if you thermostat or rheostat malfunctions, where will your BP seek refuge. Definitely leave the second hide if you have the space and its not hurting anything.
mine switches...when I first got him he was always in his hot hide, then he shed and moved to his cold hide, shed again and went back to the hot side it happens every time. He knows where each one is because I'll put him in his hot side just to show him where it is in case he forgot, but he moves. He's going into shed so he might go back. So you never know one day Charlie might decide he wants to move.
Well, I guess the question for me is this: what's your motivation for wanting to take it out? Even if your snake isn't using it right now, I don't see what it hurts to leave it in there in case he ever wants to use it in the future.
