    They'll tend to do that when they aren't comfortable. What are your temps? How are you measuring them? What kind of hides do you have?

    Sometimes they do it, and other times it means they'res possibly something wrong, I would go over everything, and double check all.

    Have you changed anything in the enclosure recently? They remember where and how stuff is placed and if it changes, they check out everything (re-map it so to say). This could look like wondering I guess.
