I use hollow plastic log-type hides. He uses them sometimes, other times he gets between the hide and the vivarium glass. I was worried that they might be be too big, but I imagine that he would not use them at all if they were. I also thought that it might be too hot because he likes to spend the day in the cool hide but at night he seems very attracted to the heat lamp. I am using a 75W infra-red light but it is lifted up from the screen and it maintains the temps where they should be.

He gets very active at night for a few hours. I figured that it is in their nature to 'roam' during the night hours. He eventually goes back to the cool side at about 3-4am. Relaxes ON the hide, and then eventually creeps back into the hide, or into the crevice that he has made himself between the log and vivarium glass.
