So we've had Taco for about a week - it's about 3" in length right now - good size enclosure (4.5'x2.5') for a least a few years I think. Temps are constant day between 80-90 and night between 70-80 depending on where in the enclosure and humidity is on the lower end but is constant around 70-80%. I know it should be slightly higher and we are working on it. There is a 18" flourescent T8 light over one end for UVB but not too much.
Question: the hatchling spends 23 hrs hiding. Is this normal? I have to take it out of the hide (always in the cooler end around 75 degrees) to soak and eat then straight back into the hide. We are just worried that something is wrong.
Any advice here may waylay our fears a bit.
