When I first got Magellan, he spent so much time in his hide that I was periodically taking a peek inside to make sure he was OK. I think part of it was just the "insecurity" of settling into a new home. He's since become much less shy, but that first month or so was starting to get me worried.

Phil and Magellan both will tend to spend a lot more time inside their hides right after a good feeding. With a full gut that needs time to digest, and no pressing hunger pangs, they're content to simply rest and let the digestive tract do its job. When they start prowling about their enclosures a lot, I know they're looking for food and it's time to feed them.
