Is the half log his new hide? He probably doesn't like it do to the fact it is wide open in the front. Buy the reptile basics hides and buy 2 of them one hot one for cold so he can't play favorites and will regulate his temp properly. There very dark and secure. I used the half log for awhile and my male never used it except to poo also. Make sure you buy one that will be snug fit. Don't get anything smaller then the mediums. The medium reptile basics hide are good up to 700g ball python. He looks about as big as my male and I use the medium. He will be much happier with the RBI hides.
and yes he is adorable![]()
