I have a shoe box which is small, a plastic hide thing with is a bit bigger, both on the hot side and a log stretching across the tank. It is more for him to climb over and to look pretty. It has some holes that he loves to go through. I wouldn't use that as his only hide though. I also have some leafy fake plants to provide some cover. And right now he isn't roaming, he is just sitting there. He hasn't been as active at night since he started sitting up there. He'll spend all day on top of the hide with his head hanging down the side. Occasionally I will find him in his hide, but for the past 3 days that is pretty rare.
