I agree with no touching for at least 7 days ( longer the better IMO) so if you can go longer it will only get better every day. I just got some $2 6" flower pots from lowes, and cut them to size ( cut it in 1/2) notched out a little entry hole and hes seems happy with em. Mine is in a 41 qt tub with 2 hides and some fake leaves in the middle for clutter. He has been mainly in warm side hide but the first couple days he stayed in cool. I just got hands on last night for about 5-7 mins on Day 13 after he fed and shed for me.
