LOL....My gopher snake, Caesar, does the same thing in his little cave-hide. He wedges himself into it so that when you pick it up, he goes up with it. I've learned to give it a tiny little wiggle as I pick it up and he gets a slightly disgruntled expression when he plops out! I would think that hide has become too small for him, but he seems to still fit just fine...but it's pretty amusing watching him stuff nearly three feet of snake into that tiny little cave...it's like watching a dozen clowns cram into toy car!
