    Are your hides identical? They will choose which hide they like better regardless of their health.

    I'm pretty sure it's because your "cold" house is the temperature of what a "hot" house should be. The hot side of the tanks should be 83-85F and the cool side like 80F and night "cold" side at ~75F. 90F is the basking spot temperature.

    Lol, that's funny. Great example of why identical hides are needed!


    I'm not sure if it's because of the heat. I like my cool side to say around 80. I suppose if it gets very much over 80 that could be the reason, but 82-83 I don't think that would be a big deal. My tubs are 92 hot side 80 cool side.

    I Started To Notice That When My BP Was Going Through The Process Of Shedding He Leave His Tail Outside Of The Hide I Havent Seen Him Do That. My Guess Is Because Of Shedding And He Was Trying To Feel The Humidity. I Checked Today And He Has Those Blue Eyes.

    The shedding begins after the eyes clear.
