Yes, it is perfectly normal for them. They will naturally try to find a place to hide during the day and come out at night to search for food. It is best to place a hide box on the warm and cool side. If you little boa does not have a proper place to hide and feel secure other problems may arise in the future. Hides give a little boa confidence. The stress from not having a proper place to hide may lead to a weakened immune system making him or her more susceptible to sickness or may make him go off feed.
