    Any ideas guys?

    So clyde my BP for last few days has pushed his hide aside and curls up behind it during the days and comes out at night but is always back behind it in the morning, he used to love his hide and was always in it snuggled up and now I'm worried somethings wrong, his temps are 78 cool side 83 ambient and hot spot where his hide is is 88-90, humidity bounces between 45/60% he has fresh water every day and had his last meal Tuesday night, he ate it went back to inside his hide but is now pushing it aside? I've checked for poos and spot cleaned the area incase he wee'd but he still don't want to go in.. Have I done something wrong? Any ideas on what's going down will really help, thanks in advance

    Usually when/if in a glass enclosure if the animal start squeezing itself between the hide and the enclosure it is for added security, which means the hide may not provide the security that your animal is looking for.

    Ideal hides are tight with all sides touching your BP's body, just like a shell on a turtle's back (they are looking for the same tight fit)

    Oh sorry it's a wooden viv so the only the glass doors at the front sorry I forgot to say that, and his hide at the minute is like a rock cave style with a small entrance hole at the front and that's it, he always used to go in and fitted very snug there's almost a make shift shelf in the bottom and he used to tuck his head in and curl up, maybe I could need a bigger one now he is eating and growing better?
