If he's not using his hides, where is he hanging out when he's not exploring? Can you describe the environment more? What size cage? (I'm assuming glass tank?) What type of heat sources are you using (lamps? CHE? UTH?). Pics would be great too...
He's either laying out in the open in a ball or on the side of the hot hide against the glass. Sorry at work right now so no pics. I have a uth that I keep at 90 with a herpstat, the cool side is always 79 to 80 and I have identical hides which are the log hides. I also use a 75 watt heat lamp and change it to infrared at night. I'm changing the water dish daily and spot cleaning regularly.
