Okay, I've had my bp for over 2 weeks now. Just when I had everything under control, temps and humidity and substrate, etc. ... I fed him, he ate, was hiding all the time, etc. Now he's acting all stressed out again.

I let him be for 3 days after he ate, and he hid like a happy snake on the warm side (my temps ARE correct, that's not the issue). After 3 days, I took him out to clean up the paper towels in the tank, and I replaced his larger hides with some nicer, tighter ones. The problem is, now he only hangs out in the hide on the cool side. The temperatures ARE correct (82-84 cool, 92-94 warm) but he will just NOT hide in the warm box. He spends almost all day on the cool side in the hide.

I tried directing him toward the warm one. He explored it, but now just rests with half of his body on top of it instead of going in.

The most confusing thing is, the hides are IDENTICAL. Why doesn't he like the hide? How can I get him to use it? He spends all day and night either in the cool hide, or not hiding, and I don't want him to get stressed out.
