Hanging out in Humid Hide

Is it unusual for a snake to hang out in his humid hide for over 24 hours at a time? I'm not sure if I should interrupt him or not. I've checked on him a couple times and he's changed positions in there a little but when I tap on it, he just barely moves. Normally he is very, very active.

He ate the day before he went in there and just shed about a week and a half ago.

Didn't know if there was anything I should be concerned about?

My corns love their humid hides and even tho there are oth options at the same temp gradient they use the humid one more than thet other hides

They love humidity.....
That's why the humid hide is there....so he can have that option.....

He's were HE wants to be.

What is your heat source?

And....Humidity AND Thermal gradients are the only way to go......

He has an under tank heater. The humid hide is half on/half off of it. This has been the first time I've seen him use it at all in the 2 months I've had him. I've just been keeping it moist in case he has decided to use it. Guess he has now.
