How large is the enclosure?

are there enough plants to make him feel secure?

Are there enough branches for him to use? Maybe add a few more sticks? place them in such a way that he can mve from one to the other...

Mine used to all the time. then I really gave him a lot to do inside - and now he generally stays off it..except for the side where I have the heat lamp...mostly bare up there.

Some folks hang rope on the side of the cage to keep them off the screen. Other hang a mesh netting.

hope that helps a bit.
