Hi all! 3 days ago, I just moved out to a new house, and bring my 3-month-old sulcata and his closed chamber with me. However, while the closed chamber humidity and temperature stay the same, I notice he becomes WAY more alert and active. Previously, after I gave him his morning soak, and fed him while basking around when I put him back in the closed chamber, he went back to his cave and slept. He might go out a couple of time to drink etc, but he spend most of his time sleeping in his hide. And he burrows a lot. He digs the coco coir substrate until he reaches the bottom.
However, after we moved, after soaking and feeding, when we put him back, he kept roaming around the enclosure and never slept inside his cave anymore. Another thing like feeding, pooping and passing urates are still normal.
Previously, when we woke up (around 7/8 am), he was already awake outside the enclosure, waiting to be picked up and fed. But today, he is so active that when we woke up, we heard a sound from his enclosure and found him digging and kinda stuck behind his cave (the cave located on the cool side of the enclosure, 29-30'c; basking 31-33'c). What is happening? I just puzzled because he is still using the same closed chamber from our previous home. Is he supposed to be this active? Because I read that sulcata hatchlings spend most of their time sleeping.
Where I usually find him
How I found him this morning.
