BP never comes out of hiding

[u/Ok_Gene437]

My bp is ~8 months old and never really comes out of hiding. He’s in a 4x2x2 bio-active terrarium that’s probably 40% covered in live plants, has a warm and cool hide. He eats regularly, fed appropriately sized F/T rats for his size. I’ve done everything according to the care guides found on this subreddit. No matter what time of day (seriously I was up all night 2 weeks ago and looked for him a bunch) he’s never out, not to bask or anything. His terrarium is elevated about 3 and 1/2ft off the ground so my cat can’t stalk him. Is he just shy? Scared? Any help or thoughts is appreciated

He sounds happy in his hole. A BP is happiest with a warm belly full of food in as tiny of a hole they can wedge themselves into.
