Hi,
Everyone seems to have covered all the husbandry advice I would have mentioned but I still had to post just to say I like the message you wrote on the tank.![]()
Oh and yes it takes them time to settle back into their enclosures when you change things even when the changes are for the better.
So stick with the new hides and cover the sides and back of the tank then let him chillax for a week or so to get used to it.
