Hiding 24/7 (stress?)

I brought my bp home last monday night and he ate tuesday night. From monday until wed/thursday morning he did nothing but criuize the tank, but I haven't seen him since. I disturbed him last night for a short handling session, but that's the first time I handled him since I brought him home (I wanted to give him lots of time to adjust to the viv and of course to also digest tuesday meal - which was done around thursday). He was VERY calm when I had him out.

I expected to see him roaming around again by friday or even saturday, but no luck yet. Now the problem is that his tank is currently on the floor (I'm waiting on a stand) and that one of my cats like to lay beside it and look in. He didn't seem to mind this at all the first two nights he was here, but could this be causing him to hide?

How active are bp's generally? He's just under 5 months old and I bought him at a pet store where a friend of mine works... she would carry him around wiht her on her shift so he's VERY used to being handled, people, noise, etc... and it's really quiet here (with this cat staring in all the time).

Tonight is feeding night so I'm HOPING he eats (if he doesn't I'll know it's likely stress), but I was just wondering if this behavior is normal.

Thanks!
