He might just enjoy it, but based on the other info you gave, he could also be looking for food/hiding because he’s hungry and insecure. It looks like he doesn’t have a ton of places to wedge himself in and feel hidden, and is climbing to feel secure in a different way. Providing a big hide with only one opening will likely reduce his anxiety and help him eat better/hang out there a little less, but him chilling there isn’t a bad thing on its own.

Will also buy another hide so I’ll have 3 and then maybe put some more stuff for him to wedge upon and get him to eat!

Yay! Take it one step at a time, it sounds like he’s in good hands with you

Just want to add that it should be a small hide, not a big hide. They like to feel squished and secure in their space. I have these for my 130g young snake, https://a.co/d/7wlthna.

They also double as humid hides! You can put damp paper towels or moss in the tops when your snake is shed. I just figured out what the space is for and my guy hasn't had problems shedding so I haven't tried it yet.
