When they are new I have heard that Uro`s have a habbit of hiding a lot and being very scared. I have heard they can do it for longer than most other reptiles and it can last weeks.
he just needs time to adjust to his new surroundings, it takes Uro`s longer than other lizards. he is also WC which means he will be much more likely to perceive you as a threat than any hand bred Uro`s

what are the temperatures in the tank? does it have a well enclosed hide? a piece of driftwood is not adequate for a hiding spot. something more enclosed, or the opportunity to burrow is needed
