It's really frustrating because I just got everything set up ok again. I had to move and rearrange both of my guys cages because they are in the basement and we had turned on the AC.

I experimented with a couple different substrates but finally got the best results with "astroturf" over some newspaper. His temps are great 91.6 on the hot side and 78.6 on the cool and everything is great. Then the little stinker decides he needs to burrow under the astroturf.

The burn does not appear to be bad it's about the size (circular) of a eraser tip and it does appear to be just on the surface ( the scales feel rough and appear a little brown). Do they try to burrow their hole lives or is this a baby thing ?
