My Hermann tortoise Zeus will wake up eat and go back in his dark area. Then Zeus will come out later bask then sometimes do laps around his enclosure while after eating left overs. Then he will either go back in dark area or once in awhile bask. Mostly all day he will be in dark area. This has been happening snice I got him 2 months ago. He is pooping and peeing very well. I soak him regularly! He goes outside quite often and he looks good! Eyes are bright , nose is cleared, no pyramiding . Moves fast . Gets calcium, Temp / humidity is fine . I have a Mercury uvb bulb all in one . My question is why is he mostly in the dark area just chillin ? I’m concerned, he just sits there…in the dark all day at most.
outside he is so active!
once awhile he will just sit under light for a long time. Any suggestions???
My indoor enclosure for my Hermann juvenile tortoise is 6ft long ! Has a width of 30 inches and 15inches high . The hide dark area is about 16 inches width. It’s inside . I take him a lot out to roam as well, when nice out.
