Besides putting in the new hideouts and removing the half-log I've left him alone. I bought two identical hideouts and placed them on the cool and hot side of the terrarium. I'll take some new pics of the setup and post them later. He seems to have taken refuge in the hideout on the cold side of the terrarium and hasn't come out since yesterday. I'll definitely give him his alone time
