    Spending a lot of time in the cool hide

    My BP has been spending 95% of it's hiding time in the cool hide.

    It will come out and explore A LOT in the evening but does not go into the worm hide.

    It used to go back and forth often.

    Info:

    Warm side hide: 90 degrees
    Cool side hide: 80 degrees
    Ambient (measured at ground level just to the cool side of center): 77-78
    Humidity (measured with same meter as ambient): 60-65%

    What (if anything) is up?

    Jimmy

    It probably doesn't like sleeping with the worms

    Jokes aside, I think as long as your husbandry is good, the hides are the same, and there haven't been any big changes it should be fine. If it was cold it would seek out the heat. Double check temps with an IR thermometer to make sure the warm side belly heat isn't too hot.

    Mine do the same thing.

    Coolside. Coolside. Coolside. Feed'em.

    Do not pass go, but slide _directly_ into the warmside hide for 24-48 hours.

    I just figure they know what they need.

    Yah, they do know. However, she does the same after she feeds.
