Is it normal for them to stay in the same hide for days at a time?
Yes, in fact, it's actually a good thing. Especially when they're in a new enclosure.
I haven't seen him on the cold side except for when I was putting some more things in his terrarium
He'll thermoregulate as he needs to. Leave that to him
Second, I have a thermostat connected to an UTH on the hot side, which doesn't get higher than 95 on the glass.
Sounds about right. You can even bump up the T-Stat two or three degrees if you need to. 98 on the glass won't burn him even if he lays right on it.
Third, how long should I wait before trying to feed him for the first time?
My personal rule of thumb is 7-10 days. Some will tell you two weeks. Some feed the day they get them home. The right answer is to do whatever works for your snake.
