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?

Re: Hanging out in Humid Hide
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.
