snake acting funny

[Smilts]

i had my snake a month and he ate well then he shed he was in his hide most thetime getting ready to shd then when he did got real hyper five hours after he shed i fed him always have to feed him in his hide but he rarely comes out now not like before that was 8 days ago fed him again yesterday and he didnt come out all day then or today until i came home and found him on his branch he goes to his hide as soon as he sees me though and usualy im the only one that can bother him:w

first of all, please punctuate. That was very hard to understand and I'm still not sure if I get what you mean.
I think you're saying he spends all his time in hiding, and he always hides when he sees you? Well thats normal... he would spend a couple days in his warm hide after eating to digest his meal.
he might when you come in if he's stressed or afraid of you. do you handle him often? is there a lot of traffic in the area he's in?

[Smilts]

sorry, he's in my walkin closet. Its in the back of the house, no traffic. I handle him every day but not for to long at a time. Im very careful not to be rough. He doesnt seem to mind me getting him out of his enlosure. Its just the last week that he spends so much time in the hide box. I would put it off to him being cought in the wild. But he was fine after the first few days.

[Zoe]

what temps are you keeping him at? Humidity?

Also, its perfectly normal for a snake to spend much of his time in a hide box. He'll come out when he wants, but you should rule out husbandry problems first.

went and rechecked temp. The cooler side is at 82-84. Not shure on the warmer side I needa better or extra therm

[Andy_G]

That is too hot for the cool side, that is the temp the hot side should be at, the cool side should be in the low to mid 70's.

my thermostat is in the mddle of the devide.How could i cool down the erea, theres no where else to put him

[Zoe]

What are you using for heat? Lower the setting or wire up a rheostat, or move it further away from the cage bla bla bla.
