normal snake behavior for him is usually going through the wood i have in there and staring at me whenever i go by his tank. Him constantly hiding like this is very unusual.

I was told by a local reptile store that i should use a basking area for him, its a zoo med 75W one, they told me to go higher but i thought this was plenty for him. I have the light on for 4-6 hours depending on the season right now, i have had the light on since late November, so i had it on maybe 4 hours, and now its about 6, but i keep it a good 3-5 inches away from the top of the screen. Since he has been acting weird the only time i turn it on is when i want to check the water, but then i turn it off and leave him alone, we have also been putting a blanket to cover 1/4 of his cage from the stairway lights that go on at night
