Cyrus is currently living in a Rub and used to live in the bedroom. Because i felt like he was being ignored i decided to get a viv abd set it up downstairs so we can see him. Unfortunately he really didnt like it and it stressed him out so hes back in his Rub but inside the viv.

He never used to really be out but you could guarantee he'd have his head popping out or he would actually be out, but now he never ever comes out!

When i get him out hes happy as larry, but its just a bit of a character change.

In his viv is just a light and the viv is located in our front room.

Cyrus eats, poos and sheds perfectly.

Should i be concerned?

he might just have to get used to having people around then, if hes used to not seeing people that often to being in a room with lots of people going by he might just be shy :)

My 2 over 5ft adults don't really come out... They spend all day under the hide together and then at night they're all over the place lol

I wouldn't be worried, he is still young so there's even less reason to worry if my adults spend so much time hiding.

The timer has just switched the lights off and he's now got his head sticking out of his leaves. Now can you see why i think maybe he just doesn't like the light?
