They can do that and they know best what they need. He surely knows that there's a hide on the warm side but he just doesn't need it. He'll make use of it when he feels like he needs to.

Are they any more unusual things he does or is it just the daytime cruising?
How often du you handle him?

It looks like your husbandry is fine. While 65% humidity is not ideal but it's nothing to sweat about. Unless it reaches 70% and more you shouldn't worry too much (but keep an eye on it).
Your ball python has been with you for month and you just made a change to his enclosure, so he might be a bit touchy. Give him some more time. Every ball python is vastly different when it comes to character. You might just have a sensible guy.
I handle him probably once a day for maybe 5-15 minutes probably but the past week I wasn't able too due to me being at my dads but I came back to check-up on him and to clean his tub/water his dish etc and no it seems just to be the daytime cruising nothing else unusual. My humidity often reaches above 65+ and I'm not sure how to get it down, I've tried a lot and it just doesn't seem to go down, he did just have his first shed with me and it came out all in one piece including the head which I thought was very good but the humidity now is quite high and I can't get it down (I'm using paper towels as a substate).
