Hi all. My Home's has been doing something really weird today. He keeps walking up the side of his humid hide (a half-basket partially buried in substrate and roofed in spaghnum) and then jumping off the front of it. Well, I say "jumping", it's really more like "shoving himself halfway off the edge, waggling his limbs furiously, and then faceplanting." He's got plenty of room up here to turn around. Is this something I need to be worried about?
As a side note: today is the second most active day he's ever had. The first was about a month ago. The only two factors I can find in common are that both days we had thunderstorms and both days the temperature in the apartment reached or exceeded 80 degrees, though it never got above 83 or so. Thoughts?
Update: I've just noticed that the humidity in his enclosure has broken 80%, which might explain his sudden burst of activity. Normally I have to mist constantly to keep it above 50%. (tank humidifier's on the way, I swear)
