I just got him on Monday so i'm assuming he is still stressed from coming from the shop, and i thought he was. I have a basking light oneside with UTH, i think it about 32 degrees on tht side, but im not sure about the cool side, the air in the middle of the tank at the top is 26 degrees, i dont have i identical hides, one is some cork bark pressd up agianst a rock on the warm side which he is in most of the time, and on the cool side i have a half coconut shell which i have never seen him in.
