Sounds about right. In general, a hiding snake is a happy snake so if he is out of the enclosure often during the day, something is up. Hunger, hot spot, or any of many other scenarios. How do you moniter your temps? How often do you feed (or have attempted to feed)? Is there a female snake in the room? Is the room quiet or heavy traffic? Since he is new to you, he may just be getting used to his me place. Like I said, mine did it for a while, and still does at times, but the frequency has gone down. Good luck. Pictures would be great, by the way.
