How deep is the substrate? I have 2 Curly Hairs. One has a cork hide on the surface and is always wandering around and the other one I never see, unless it is eating or drinking.
Its a beautiful enclosure. I personally feel its to much open vertical space for a terrestrial. My go to rule for vertical open space is the Diagnal leg span + 1 1/2 inches. That way don't have to worry about fall damage.

At a glance your enclosure does look more suitable for an arboreal species. T. albopilosus are terrestrial. It’s a species that should be given the option to burrow. Too much verticality and not enough substrate depth could result in a rather nasty fall.
