If you have a basking site on the other end of the cage he should be using it regularly if he's eating. If he wasn't eating he'd be hibernating so he'd remain hidden, possibly for months.

But since he's been eating like a champ, I'd give him some time. He may be frightened to show his face until he gets used to the new cage. He'll come around.

The hide should be on the cool end of the cage, with a temp of 80-85 during the day. The basking site on the other end of the cage should be around 110 during the day.

If the hide is very warm there might not be a need for basking so he's staying there with no reason to come out.

Bill
