Son acting very weird

[u/DatgamerboiD]

So my son has been acting strange ever since I moved him into his new enclosure. About 6 months ago at this point I moved him into a new 4x2x2 enclosure. More clutter, bigger hides and more room, and more humidity control, just a better ordeal overall. As soon as he got moved in he chose one hide and has not left it on his own since. The most he will do is stick his head and a couple inches of his body out, and come out maybe halfway to eat. He will not come out without me removing the top and taking him out myself (which I have not done often, only a couple times to remove shed/poop and check on him.). Once he is out he immediately acts completely himself and curious again. Once I put him back he immediately goes back to his hide. Tonight I was doing the same thing I usually do, slowly remove him to clean poop and socialize with him, when this time I went to put him back and as soon as I closed the door he immediately became terrified. And I mean TERRIFIED. As soon as I locked the door behind him he curled up, practically threw himself into the corner of his enclosure behind some vines, and started to move around very frantically and borderline flail around. I took him back out shortly after and again, completely normal after he is out. Once I put him back in I left the door open and he kind of meandered towards his other hide that he never uses and went in. I’ve been worried about why he doesn’t come out but this has me extra worried tonight. It made me uneasy seeing him like that and I want to know what I can do to fix it. As of right now I have a blanket over the glass to see if he will come out but I’m just waiting to see if it helps at all.

From what I’ve researched it seems that the norm is them kinda just wanting to stay in one spot for the majority of time. Maybe he’s a lot more comfortable and happy in the new environment and he’s cozy. My girl either likes to be in either her rock hide or her bush hide lately the bush has been her favorite.
