A snake in hiding

Yesterday evening my partner came over to mine to see the snake. He wasn't very impressed that I bought one, as he is scared of them. When he saw how small it still was and how it was moving slowly around the cage he did get a bit more interested and lost the fear, but his staring and going up close to the animal's head behind the glass got the snake to hide in the iPod box and it didn't come out all evening until I switched off the lights in the room. Even then it just came out half and didn't move around much,at least not as long as I was in the room.

Today it is still in hiding. Now that I have added some more shelter and more plants to reduce the open feeing of the cage I'm going to leave the animal alone for a week to let it relax and settle in. Then I'll try to feed for the first time, if I see it becomes a bit less shy.
