Baby corn always hiding

So as of late ever since this winter, my corn snake has constantly hidden. that had not been a problem with him coming out to look for food eventually. As of late he has been awol forrr a longgg time like 2 weeks of not seeing him and after feeding and then he shed. (so thats probs why.) He came out once after he shed but I had to take him out to get stuck shed off him 2 days after I found the shed. After that he has gone back into hiding and I have yet to see him. I am concerned why he is hiding so much. His temps are all correct and he has plenty of hides.

He has his favorite hide that I think he has found a hollowed out hole made into it that he hides in and always pokes his head out of but then retreats back into. I'm wondering if though there are plenty of hides that the main tank still has too much open area which makes him concerned? I am just worried about him not eating in so long and plus Im going to be going on spring break this week and want to have him fed before I go.

Any suggestions?

You could try adding lots of stuff into the vivarium so there is less open space

snakes prefer to hide. They don't spend a lot of time out in the open. It sounds ike your snake is acting normal.

Yeah Just kinda concerned about the whole not out looking for food since its been so long

He doing what a corn snake would normally do this time of year in the wild.
Most in the wild wouldn't be hunting. They would be brumating.
Low humidity, cooler temps and short days trigger that effect in many captive corn snakes.
He's lucky, compared to his wild counterparts, that you deliver his meal weekly and provide a controlled environment. That doesn't override instinct a lot of times

Lol, if snakes could talk, I think they'd say hiding is job #1.
