I recently built a new enclosure for my tort and he has a dark place to hide with sphagnum moss in it to try and keep it humid but he sleeps under the basking lamp all night. The temps in the hide is 75°F (all day) while the basking temp ranges from 89°F-100°F (during the day) and 73°-78°F during the night when I turn the lamp off. He burrows into the coconut fiber under a small ladder made for him that is under the basking lamp. I was wondering if this is normal that his is not going into his hide and wants to stay in the warmer side. Thank you in advance.
