The substrate in my terrarium is a little bit damp (like its a little bit wet to the touch, but not really) and I've noticed she doesn't like to sit on the side of the UTH at all, even after eating.
The ambient temps in there get to be around 87 on the warm side then 75-78 on the cooler side. She always sits in the hide thats to the right of this picture, the UTH is underneath the small cave on the left like this:
I've added a little bit of coco husk from this picture to keep up humidity but does this seem fine? The left side hide is where the UTH is under and she always
likes to hide in the corner pictured there, no matter if she has eaten or not. Is the night blue light too much? It heats the ambient temp up and without it the whole terrarium sits at around 73-75F in ambient temp.. I got it because she hasn't used the UTH side at all during the day and I worry that she'll get too cold. at night i generally see her on the branch near the top,
but I've noticed she only really does that when its near food time. this is a 18x12x12 exo terrarium.
I was just hoping/making sure it wasn't due to early signs of scale rot, she doesn't have many or any signs of shedding yet but her belly from the middle to the end is getting a little pinkish. I can take pictures of her belly tomorrow before feeding, but it's not really a grand pink, its more like her belly scales are blushing in a pink shade apart from her normal white/beige. Otherwise her behavior has been pretty good, likes to explore a bit and squeezes my hand as i hold her (maybe for warmth?). I'm an over panicking, new snake mom but I always like to be safe than sorry!
