Re: nervous/stressed/ should I cover his tank?
Congrats on your new ham!
It's totally normal for him to be nervous or hide at first, it can take them a week or so to adjust to the huge change of coming into a new home so don't worry.
Don't cover the tank just make sure he doesn't have too much open space in his cage, lots of deep substrate (at least 15-20cm) a good sized dark house & some smaller hides like bendy bridges, cardboard egg boxes, cork tunnels, coconuts, anything like that.
Just spend time talking to him quietly while he settles, don't try & pick him up or disturb him for a few days at least & he should be fine.
