Also looks like he still has stuck shed. I'd wet a towel with some barely warm water and place it over the snake, in a snug small container if you can. In a couple of hours he should be skin free.
The floor temp is actually cooler than the ambient because I have the tank raised above the uth right now. I haven't been able to get a reptile uth and thermostat yet, but I'm working on it.

I soaked him on Thursday because ALL of his shed was stuck. (he's had bad sheds his entire life since he's never been taken care of correctly). He wouldn't let me touch his head or neck so I'm going to try again tomorrow, just didn't want to stress him out more than the bath already had.

It might be that he's seeking a more secure area to hide in. If the hide isn't small enough to touch him on all sides when he's inside it, it's probably too big for him.

Some of my bigger ones still wear their hides like hats they don't want bigger hides.

His hide seems like a good size to me. When he curls up in it the sides touch him pretty snug. But he definitely has room to grow into it still.
