The problem may be more about the temp in and above the hiding place than anything else. How is your hide constructed, and where are your basking spots? Our uro didn't come out very much until we moved his hide under one of the basking spots (we have two basking areas). The tricky thing was, without the spot being above the hide, he was too cold and lazy to leave, BUT when we put the spot directly on the rock that covers his hide, he was too warm and cozy to leave. So, we had to stack some rocks under the spot light, so that the under space of the hide still got warm during the day, but not warm enough to make him happy enough to never leave. Take the temperature of the space under the hide during the day, and see if it is either too hot or too cold. I can't tell you the idea hide temp, but I'll bet that changing the temp will change his behavior. Good luck!
