I have two different types of hides (Show in pics). Now I think she just favorites the stone one, but we will see tonight if she goes to the other side. But basically what I have is a stone and a wood hide, and when we first set up the terrarium, we had the stone one on the warm side and the wood one on the cool side. I noticed the next day when I took her out, she had a few droplets on her and so I realised it was getting really humid inside the stone hide despite humidity levels in the tank being only 50-55% (measured with analog hygrometer. Will get digital in a couple days). So I ended up switching the two hides from fear that the humidity in the stone hide being on the warm side is too much, and she for the past couple of days has only been in the stone hide still which is on the cool side.
So anyways today I decided to switch them back because she was a bit cold to the touch even though temps are fine in the tank.
So I guess my main question is, even though it gets pretty moist inside the stone hide, is it bad if she gets wet? and if it is how can I make her stay on the warm side with the wood hide. The wood hide doesn't get too humid because it has an opening on both sides. I think she just likes the stone hide, its a bit bigger, as you'll be able to see. I just want to make sure that if she does stay on the stone hide on the warm side, that she wont get a respiratory infection from it being too humid and wet.
