Any snake owners out there?

The burrowing should slow way down once there is enough cover and the snake has put on enough size to feel secure. There's always some hide and seek with snakes tho. You can always just leave the food item near a hide after dark and check back in an hour or so.

Just got home from work and checked on him. He’s partially exposed right now, which is an improvement. Warm end.

Good stuff. Glad too see he's out. I saw the two decorative pieces. The problem is they don't offer what most snakes want. Typically they want something just big enough to squeeze into. That's why in the wild you can flip old logs or leftover building materials that look smashed into the ground and find pretty good sized snakes. The half logs and aquarium decor looks nice but in most cases they rarely use them, especially when very young. That's why a you'll hear a lot of people complain that their snakes will flip their water bowls over and soak the enclosure. They're typically looking for a tight place to squeeze under. Unfortunately there's not too many good options for hides at a pet store. And honestly anything that will work for him at the size he is now will quickly be too small as he grows. I use whatever stuff I can find around the house until the reach full size, then I'll upgrade to nicer looking options for the enclosure once I know it will be permanent.
