Hi everyone. I purchased 2 sulcata hatchlings last week while waiting for the 3rd from a separate breeder which I should be getting end of next week. They seem to be doing very well in regards to their health as I have been following Tom's care sheet with just about every detail. The odd thing is that the babies are not using the hides or the cool side of the enclosure at all and choose to just burrow into the corners of the enclosure on the hot side. The ambient temp is about 85 degrees and the spot under the basking bulb is anywhere from 105-115 depending on ambient temp of my house. Humidity is 90%. Is this normal or should I change something in the enclosure to encourage them to use their hides and the cool side?
PS.
I used the ceramic pot bottom for a water dish, but one of them keeps flipping over in the water bowl overnight.
Any advice would be welcomed! Thank you!
