Hi,

JLC explained this quite well in a post once - she explained that the whole environment must be assesed by the snake as secure and it needs to make sure those hides are safe to use and don't contain anything else first.

Generally once they are convinced they are safe they begin to use them and, once totally relaxed, are rarely anwhere else during the day.

I'd let him have his week of no disturbances to settle down and see if he uses them after that - I take it you have checked the temperatures inside them to make sure they are in the right range?
