Most sure fire way to know they're stuck is when you catch that scent of decay...
He's probably fine. He just found a nice tight place where he feels safe and secure. He doesnt want to be bothered. The more you mess with him. The more you pick up the hide to check on him the tighter he is going to wedge himself in there.
I worked for a big box pet store and new employees would always put a hide like that in with the snakes by mistake. It was annoying for my inventory accounts but they were fine.
Leave the snake alone for a while. If he isn't out after a week then I might consider carefully breaking open the hide.
And seriously. Get him a proper hide so this doesn't happen again. Flower pot saucers are perfect and cheap.
