Is it normal?

no.. that's a myth they don't need two hides... he has one hide and out of curiosity what do hides have to do with why he was in the water? the warmest part of his cage is 95 where his hide is. and the cage it self has an ambient of about 80-85...
he just shed... a week agao.. i think it was just him being funny.. he hasn't done it again and he got out of the water last night... like i said this is the first and only time i've seen him do it that's why it alarmed me.. but he seems ok..

its not really a myth some will not eat if they dont have 2 hides. some seem to not want any hides. you didnt say how big he is but im leaning towards he might not like his temps so high does he ever go to the warm side?
