He doesn't seem stressed but he is used to being a 55 gallon tank, but even then with two hides he stayed out most of the day.

I find if I lower his hot spot to about 89* he goes and hides after a while, but it gets too cold in here at night to leave it that low all the time.
Perhaps putting the heat elements on a dimmer or even better, a timer so that it automatically goes down to 89 during the day, and higher at night?
