One of my CDTs has become obsessed with this pile of wood from a camphor tree we trimmed. After his morning sunning, he goes in here and stays until I drag him out at dusk. Of course he has plenty of other hides in shade and sun, but he has chosen his favorite. If we let him, I'd bet he'd brumate here (sorry buddy, not happening).
I took two of the camphor logs and put them next to the opening of his concrete burrow, and sure enough he dug in under them and slept all night. He must prefer the wood to the concrete for some reason, so I'm thinking when he goes down for the winter and I redesign the enclosures I'll try to fashion a more permanent wood hide of some kind. Anybody ever made one?
