He stays in his hide 95% of the time, I wake myself up in teh middle of the night some times to see if he's out but he only sticks his head out a few inches. I've only seen him come out of his hide on his own maybe 3 times since I've had em and its been about 3 months. Now that he's getting bigger I'm hoping he's going to mellow out a lot more but who knows for sure.
