Bashful Corn?

Hey, I was just wanting to take a bit of a survey of the corn owners here. My little guy(gal?) is veeeery very shy. I've never caught him above substrate, in the weeks before purchase when I dropped by, nor once I had him home. He was perfectly fine with handling, both in the pet store and just prior to his recent feeding. I have not been musked on, and all of his movements have been calm and deliberate, so I'm reasonably certain that he's not overly stressed.

This is all leading up to my actual question: How many of you have corns that are like this? Typically hidden away, and not on display to the general public? Is this something that they grow out of? Again, he seems to be totally fine with handling, just once he is returned to his terrarium, he looks around for a second, then makes for one of his hides, and burrows back under his aspen. For my own peace of mind, I'd like to be able to see him, but this is an unlikely prospect as of right now.

Thanks again! I'm sure I'm just being a worrywort new parent type, but reassurance is good
