Question My first Kenyan Sand Boa... Is this normal?

Hello! I'm Ly and I'm new to the forums. I just got my first snake a day ago. I've been researching immensely for the past few months but I still have a few questions.

I just got a really cute 2 month old boy. He is extremely sweet and didn't even seem nervous when I first handled him before I put him in the enclosure yesterday. I'm suffering from a bit of new snake owner syndrome, hehe, worrying and wanting desperately to hold him, but I've promised myself I won't handle him for a week to let him settle.

I've heard they are nocturnal, so is it normal for him to sit in one place all day in the substrate? I can see part of him pressed against the glass, and I noticed him at 6 AM like that and I come back 7 hours later and he is in the same exact place. Is he just sleeping? Should I worry?

Also, what are the general signs I should look out for if he is feeling stressed?

Thank you for your time!
