Oh yes...the thing that Ball Pythons do best is hide and sleep....they are very retiring sort of snakes and like to chill out and stay out of sight most of the time.My BPs usually spend the whole day in their hides and later on in the evening they come out and prowl around - so it is perfectly normal for your snake to spend 90% of the time in its hides...whenever I want to play with my snakes I just rub them gently in their hide to let them know it is me and I gently remove them and have a handling session....so don't worry your snake is fine !!!!!!!
