About a month ago I put a tube, about 2'' diameter in my snake's tank and at first he just ignored it, going through every now and again, but about 2 weeks ago, he went in and I haven't seen him come out yet. Originally I was worried that he was stuck, but when I placed food at the mouth of the tube it was gone in under an hour. So now I have no idea as what's happening.
PLEASE HELP!!!

I thought of all those things, but it's been 2 weeks and he hasn't budged at all. also: he is just under 2 years old, about 2.5 feet long, I have a 3x1x1 foot viv, I have a heat mat at roughly 30 degrees Celsius, he has just moved up to 2 fuzzy mice per sitting and he isn't shedding as far as I know, last time was 3 weeks ago.

it sounds like your snake has found a new favourite hiding place that he feels nice and safe in :)

Totally agree
Mine regularly hide down the back of my background in my exo terra vivs - I cant get at them and just have to wait for them to come back out, usually when they are hungry
