Today we attached the new Acu-Rite in the cool corner, about 2" below the top of the tank. BP seems fascinated by it, and has been propping itself on top looking at the screen cover.

I held it in the sunshine for about an hour this afternoon while hubby got the probe just right in the substrate. After putting it back into the tank, instead of going back into its hide, BP has been roaming around, checking out the screen cover, climbing on top of its hide but moreso that Acu-Rite. Frankly, it looks like it's looking at the Acu-Rite... perhaps checking the numbers, LOL!

This has been going on for over 2 hours, though. It looks like it's trying to escape, unless it's just roaming around looking for its next meal. It ate 3 days ago, though, but it's thin. Actually, this is the first time it's really been out of its hide since eating, so perhaps it's just natural exploring? I hope it's not stressed.

I can't tell if it merely wants to escape, or if it enjoyed being out in the sunshine so much that it wants to go back. It just really loves that Acu-Rite, though, as if it were a new toy.
