Normal behavior.??

So my bp lives in a tank that has fake plants and rocks everything. So on the cold side is her water and fake tree thing and in the middle there is a little stack of rocks against the glass. So my bp has been spending a lot of time under the reptifogger on the cold side. Temps seem ok like 85ish. Humidity between 40 snd 50 depending. But now she dug a tunnel under the rocks and stays in there all day untill I pull her out. You wouldn't even know I had anything in there. She is eating really well now I just switched her to live food. So is it normal is she ok to stay under the rocks all day?

Well, is it 85 on the hot/ basking side or the cold side? Stick a thermometer under the rocks and see what the temp. Humidity my be better at 50-60. Hot side of the tank around 90 and 'cold' side should be 80ish, nothing less than 75. I don't have rocks in my tanks so idk if they are okay or not. Do you have pics of your setup? Also how many hides do you have and where are they placed? Sorry for all the questions, I simply think the answers and pics will help us see what is going on. :)

These are all great questions. The other thing is the reptifogger may put out too much humidity. Just a concern. Do you have a hygrometer in there?

This is where she is hiding I had to remove a rock. To find her

Her temps are 92 hot and 81 cold.

The log hide looks huge. Two snug hides - one on the cold side and one on the hot side - are recommended.

Also with the reptifogger I have to have it cause I live in southern utah. Its hot and dry. With the swamp cooler on in the house the humidity is 25ish a/c there is barely anything. I keep the fogger on low and it stays at 40%-50%. A lot of times she sleeps under it

Christian

do u have digital hygro/theremometers
dials can be unaccurate

Is a hygro one that tells humidity.?
I have a digital thermometer/ humidity gauge next to the log. Works really well. The dial ones on the glass are old and crazy. I don't use those

Christian

You can see the digital one in the first picture. Just the top corner

Do you thing she is hiding under the rocks because its a smaller place? Should I make smaller hides?
