    Talking Re: are they usually unactive in shed?

    They are usually not active. Just enough action to get from the water bowl to soak, then back to a hide to either cool or warm up. Plus, they are testy during these times so try to avoid handling unless it's a must. Hope it helps.

    Mine also head for their hides when in shed. They don't move much at all. I can always tell when they're done, because they poke their heads out. Of course, I was a worry wort and always checked on them anyway. Just make sure you up the humidity to about 70% until the shed is finished.
