Hi everyone,

Nothing's wrong with him- there may be many problems non snake related.
What's the dimensions and temperatures of your enclosure firstly?

Sometimes hatchlings jus hide becuase they feel insecure, i'm not sure of that's it- but if yourworried take him toa reptile vet.

he eats fine, sheds every so often, when i take him out to hold him he has good muscle tone, so physically he is in good shape. not sure why he doesnt like moving though

You should try put a thin plastic rode or stable thin stick in the tub, they love to climb. Can you try get pictures for us? Of the snake, for fun  and one of the tub.

try looking in the enclosure at night after the lights have been off for a while, then you might see him/her |

ITS NOT THE FACT THAT I DONT SEE HIM MOVE. EVERYDAY HE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT AND POSITION. THERE MUST BE A REASON WHY HE DOESNT MOVE.
i HAVE HAD A COASTAL FOR 3 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I RAISED THEM THE SAME

whats the size of the enclosure length height and width. Also do a temperature check of the entire enclosure, heat spot/ up high and in the cool spot. Have you got the hide in the hot end or cold end. Try one at both. I would probably say you need to check temps. Snakes move to regulate their temperature, saying this it maybe the temps are not high enough, and he is staying their to heat up.

mate my snake is a combination, he is called psycho because he never stops biting, and he is also the most shy snake i know. he is gorgeous though
