Okay, so I'm not worried exactly, but I would like some advice. First of all, it looks like Jynx has decided to fast for a second winter in a row, not a big deal he's 2300ish grams. What does have me a little concerned is that his hot spot is running a little on the hot side... I have sort of fixed it for now, and I am going to get a new heat pad and rheostat (will get a new thermostat when I get the money), to try to fix it in a day or two, but he seems like he does not want to go into his hide or really touch his substrate at all. He doesn't have any noticeable burns, everything looks normal, he is active like normal, and feels warm when I pick him up, but he seems more like he is basking than hiding like normal. I checked the temps with a temp gun and everything is reading normal, I'm just worried that he really doesn't like the cypress/coconut mixture for his substrate. He has always been a brat and been happier on coconut, but this seems weird to me. I don't know if I should change back, or just wait it out a couple of weeks after I change the heat pad situation to see if he'll reacclimate, I have had him on just cypress before, so this might just be his normal fit. It has only been 4 days since the swap.

I think I should just leave him alone to readjust and he's probably out of his hide because of what happened with everything on Saturday, because that is when the weird behavior started... Again, he doesn't really seem to be showing any signs of stress, no constant movement, still docile when I take him out, and no burns that I can find, so I'm a little at a loss. Sadie on the other hand has been completely unphased by the weekend drama and substrate change (she's been digging in the new bedding beneath her favorite hide).
