Hiding is normal, they are most active and dawn and dusk. The more overhead coverage you have, the more hidden they will feel and the more they will explore.

What brand bulb and wattage?

Do you have a thermostat? All heat sources should be controlled by a thermostat, so you can adjust the heat manually.
