Day/Night Cycle and to scared to thermoregulate?

So i have 2 questions.
1. I live in a 1 room studio with my 1year old corn (i have him for about 2 weeks) so its hard to have a strict day/night cycle for him, i dont even have a constant sleeping schedule for myself so its not like he can follow mine and i cant live without lights in the house in the night for obvious reasons haha. So any advice on that? would having lights on the terrarium on a timer help? So its brighter in specific times?

2. Whenever i pick him up and put him back into the terrarium he goes to the nearest hide from where i leave him and stays there until i take him back out the next day, i havent even seen him drink water or move out of his hide since he went visibly in shed, as i said he is in shed currently but he did it even before that to an extent (he might started going into shed when i got him though, as i said its been 2 weeks and he just got out of blue today) so is it possible that if i leave him near the cold spot and he feels cold that he is to afraid to go to the warm spot?

Hi I’ve got 2 corns both a year old
Have you got a heat lamp?
What I do is in the morning about 7:00
I turn his lamp up to 33c and about 19:00
Turn it down to 23c
I’ve also got a heat mat I leave on 25c
They both are thermostat controlled
And as for hiding probably still getting to know his surroundings
Hope that helps you
You will probably get a lot more advice on this site it’s really good

Im using a heat mat which is thermostat controlled at 30c constantly from what i read corn snakes need belly heat so i went with that. but i have lights for viewing. which i turn on when i wake up and turn of at around 10pm

I would turn it off after 12 hours get a timer maybe
That way he thinks it night and he can come out to hunt for food

im from Greece UTC+2,
I dont realy want a heat lamp, the terrarium i have has a glass top with a hole in the middle, i cant even imagine whats the point of that hole, but it would have to be in the middle of the terrarium

Sorry I can’t help on that I’ve got a viv I did look at the terrarium but didn’t like the look of them
What do you think about turning the light out ??

i mean there will still be lights in the house even if i turn his out thats my question, not how long its supposed to be on

I’ve got my viv in the lounge
The light I the viv I work on 12 hours in the day
I get up about 7:00 turn on and then about 7:00 in the evening I turn it off still got the light on in the lounge
I would turn your heat mat down to 25c at night because in wild it goes colder at night
Hope that helps you
