Jade spends most of her time out in the open rather than in her hide, pretty much always on one side of her enclosure... so Saturday morning I picked up a Birds Nest Fern and put it on the end she never uses... buried it in mulch so you couldn't see the pot and went out for a few hours to run some errands.
When I got back home she'd dug around the plant, had tried to dig into the pot itself and had herself coiled around the pot... it's three days later and she has yet to leave that spot... funny how a simple little change altered her behavior. I'm guessing even though she has preferred to be out in the open for years the plant is also offering something of a hide for her... best of both worlds... now I'm thinking she needs a bigger enclosure, more plants and other open "hide" items.
Redid my Gray Tree Frogs set up a few months back as well, they also seem to appreciate the more natural setting.
Any of you with suggestions on how to provide a more realistic set up that still allows things to be easily cleaned please speak up, I'd appreciate the feed back.
