How are you heating it? Everything looks OK except for the water bowl being a bit large. Your hiders will work but hatchlings like smaller tight fitting hiders. I use a paper towel roll that is cut in half length ways. Although you will soon find that your corn will just hide under that paper towel. If you you lightly mist it and get it damp it will stay down even after it dries and the corn will not be able to get under it as easily. Make sure you have a super tight lid because small corns can escape with just a small crack.

well that big piece of of foam is not a verry big hiding space it just looks big from the out sideand i will try to mist the paper towlsand i am heating at by a undertank heater but it only got the tep to 75 so i just got my lava lamp out and tured it on by the tank and it makes it 85 all on that side of the tank.

Remember the temperature should be around 85º right on the substrate directly over the heat pad, not the air temp
