thanks for all the advice, i will try the humid hide. also just got a great deal on a 40 breeder that I'm picking up later this week so he will have plenty of room to roam. i will make sure i clutter it up real good though so he feels secure. is the such thing as having to many hides? i figured i put a few in there so he doesn't have to feel left out in the open anywhere. on a good note he has been coming out every night as soon as the lights go out to investigate. but the poor guy will have to readjust again once the new tank gets here. thanks again for all the help. any more would be greatly appreciated.
