I don't really understand why people insist we know what they need better than our snakes. What harm is there in leaving his safety blanket (hide) in the tank? He won't be in temperature danger as long as the ambient temps are sufficient. Who's to say he isn't cruising over to the hot side at 3am when no one is looking, and then back under the cork during the day? Perhaps he would like an 88deg hot spot better than a 92deg one, and that's why he stays on the cool side.
