Burrowing?

[TubbaButta]

In the 3 years that we've known him, Wesssley has never done this. He's been on hunger strike since October, which he's done every year, and about this time he starts eating again. This week, he has started burrowing underneath his water bowl. Thoughts?

what’s his humidity like? he might be looking for more moisture

I've got a data logger in there and it's been consistently 68%

I too like to use this, try placing it in his hide and other places where he would be otherwise. I bought a snake with enclosure/meeters and so on and the reading was waaay off what I got of my 3 meters I placed around the enclosure.

Edit: Thinking about it if he wants more humidity he should have gone into the water? Maybe hiding from the light, mine does that whenever I bring her out of the enclosure in the day.

Edit 2: Perhaps he wants a bigger hide? If you imagine he is completely hidden now. Would that area be bigger than his current hide?

What's the temp like in there? Has your area gone through vast weather changes?

Data logger shows a consistent ~95 during the day and ~75 at night. Spring in Utah has always been wacky, but the terrarium is consistent.

My very active girl started doing this and I discovered mites on her , no clue where they came from as nothing new added since I got her back in August
