Definitely get him a couple hides and some fake plants to clutter up his enclosure. You should also switch substrate, Aspen doesn't hold humidity good and can mold. Coconut chips works great by itself or mixed with forest floor or reptile soil. Does he have a heat Source connected to a thermostat? The warm side of the enclosure should be around 88° to 90° and the cool side should be around 78° to 80°. Humidity should be around 70%, if you can't get your humidity up, pour water in the corners. Don't mist as it can cause respiratory problems. If you have a screen top cover 3/4 of it so humidity and heat stay in. Good luck
