Have you checked the temps where his hides are? If he doesn't have proper belly heat that's part of why he'll be looking to snuggle into that mesh space.


As far as the cloaca issue.... It's not normal but I can't tell you what's happening. The belly scales also seem to be a bit pink? This could be something like a minor burn if he keeps trying to get up near the lamp and it's too warm. But hard to really say from photos.
He can't burn himself from the heat panel since the mesh is cold and that's as far as he gets.
The temps are fine. And he tries to get everywhere no just the mesh cover. He climbes every inch of the cage, even the walls to the lid and falls down from it because he has no grip on the wall.
I don't know what more I can do. Try to soften the edges maybe.
