"ok thanks that helps alot i'll give him more hiding spots, and how often is regularly? he has about 2 inches of substrate"

I had a feeling you were going to ask me that ... I can tell you if you first tell me how long is a piece of string?
Over time, you'll develop a feeling for how frequently substrate changing is necessary. It all depends on:
- Size of the animal(s)
- Size of the enclosure
- How much/often they are fed
- Temperature
As a rough guide, I tend to change the substrate for my toads about once a month. YMMV. Change the water every day though, whether or not they defacate in it!
