Both my boys stay in their hides during the day and I'm usually asleep at night when they're active, so if I want to handle them, I have to take them from their hides. If you've owned your bp for awhile though and it's already acclimated to you and its enclosure, and your husbandry's good and the snake is not stressed out etc, then they usually should tolerate being handled without any issues, even when you "disturb" them and take them from their hides. Calm and secure handling is what matters. They're generally such chill animals so if you're chill, they will be, too, and they also get used to you just from doing normal maintenance like spot cleaning and changing their water, it really doesn't stress them out or bother them. So yeah. Just lift that hide and scoop him up lol.
