yea true. i figured it was that hes not used to FT. and he seems pretty acclimated to his cage. every night he is up and about moving everything around. but when i first had him he crawled into his hide box and didnt come out for about 3 days. he is about 2-3 months old. i have a 10 gallon tank with a UTH that reads 85-90 inside his hide box but when i put the thermometer probe under the bedding and everything it read 95-98. i also have a smaller hide box on the the cool side. and next to that hide box is his water bowl. i dont know the temp on the cool side since i never measured it. but ambient temp reads in the 80's. its gotten kind of hot in my room. haha. soon i will move him into a room all for himself.
