here is my two cents......get a dark hide and leave it! See what happens in couple of weeks. By the way...you only need 1 warm hide and 1 cool hide.

You do have a lot to keep clean however I have a lot in mine to clean. I just take everything out and clean away. I only have 2 so it is really no big deal and I love doing it.

I think you did a good job compared to what you had before and you can really see that you took advice.

I would worry about letting him get comfy....and to start eating!
