It' normal for babies to bury themselves. As tiny babies they spend most of their time buried. As long as enclosure temps are good he'll be fine.Yes. And I am buying a temperature gun tomorrow to make sure. So one thing I have been worried about. I have had many lizards and snakes in the past and I know they loved the heat. They were always fairly warm when I carried them and handled them. My.baby box turtle always seems cold to the touch. Is this normal? He is always hiding way under thr substrate and I imagine it is cold under there. Is this normal?
