Favoring one hide

[Hugsplox]

As much as I try not to, he is my first (and for now only) snake since I was a kid, so the urge to helicopter is hard to curb.

I know what you mean, but having seen you on the forum over the past year get better about being positive, patient, and taking things in stride, I'm sure you'll be fine. Like Boger said, nothing to worry about here. My guy is in a T10 and typically spends the bulk of his time in the middle hide (out of the three he has.) The only time I ever see him in his warm hide is probably for a few hours to a day after a meal, but other than that he's right back in the middle. Must just like the temperature right there and who am I to argue
