i figured why he was climbing (ontop of the box and ontop of the log). he was just finding the heat. trust me, those hides are a tight fit. they touch him on all sides. im glad he wasnt scared too much to stay in his hide even if he's cold. gotta raise the temperatures a little tho.
i know its heat because with the heat mat on, he'll happily lay in a hide. when i turn it off, after about half an hour, he'll come and sit on the log or climb a box.
and yeh man thanks but ive already said that those boxes are temporary, ive only had him for three days.
