    Ambient is on the low side. You have an animal that has a core temp that needs to be maintained higher than that.

    What is the hot spot temp on top of the heating pad? Where is the hide located with respect to the hot spot? Is it on it, or is the hide on the cool side? Is the cave hide large or is it a tight fit for her?

    Before ASSuming she's hunting or exploring, you need to make sure her basic thermoregulation and security needs are being met.

    Once those to factors are sorted out, then you can start looking at other potential reasons she's climbing to the top of her cage and wedging herself in a small gap.
