i keep him in a 30 gallon tank now.

i have a cool side and a warm side with basking light. although its really hot in this country.

the subtrate that im using now is newspaper. i am contemplating on using pine shavings... i dont really like to use soil because i keep him inside my room. it might get messy.

it just sleeps all day. when i put him on the floor,he runs away rather fast but when i put him back in its enclosure, he just sleeps in his hide.

what should i do with him?

thank you sir.
