So for the last several weeks Dexter has been spending most of his days in the hot side hide and comes out at night to cruise around. Still eating well. Yesterday I took him out in the afternoon and completely cleaned his enclosure. This morning when I got up he had burrowed under his water dish. I thought maybe I had it sitting uneven, leaving an opening. Today I moved all the bedding out from under the water dish and set it directly on the glass and pushed the mulch up around the edges, assuming it would stop him from getting back under it. Tonight he is back digging under it again. Since I added new bedding my humidity went up from about 60% to 75 %. I have moved the plexi glass covering partly off to drop it a tiny bit I feel like he should be going into shed any time. So I think the higher humidity will help.
I had originally planned to change out his hides for the black plastic ones but he started using them so much more then he originally did that i figured he was fine with them.
