yup new snakes tend to have a good inspect of their new surroundings then hide away for a few days , nothing to worry about , give it a week to settle , then have a short handling session :) |

I would just change them, it would make him feel safer so can't be all bad :) are you running your heat mat through a stat? |

Hello and welcome. With regards to putting in the new hides, I would put them in as your snake has got to get used to them whenever you choose to put them in. This is just my opinion aand others on here may have different views.
