its because you are new to him.you just need to get him out and handle him more often, get him used to you. when he hides, find where he is hiding and take him out. don't force him out though, that would stress him out.and ik its hard to take them out of the rolls, my garters hide in them alll the time lol. I cut them in half so I could just lift it up to take them out.. just handle him enough so he knows you arent to hurt him. The more you do this, the more comfortable he will be.
