Spending several hours in the moist hide is not a bad thing in itself, but if you don't have another hide or two in the enclosure that it can choose from, it will likely spend far too much time within the "moist" hide, and could easily develop a nasty fungus underneath the scales, especially the ventral scales. This is NOT a good thing, so put a small dry hide or two in there as well. That way, the snake will feel good and secure, WITHOUT the risk of developing a fungus.
