OK, I have had a very steady tempeture and humidity readings in my tank since Eros and Gaia have arrived
My hot spot is @105*, Humid Hide is @90*, Cool side is @75* (these are all ground temps that I'm sure is caused by HeatRope) The ambiant Tempeture for the whole tank is @85-95* (Heat emiter)
I also have several other ground temps ranging in the mid-high 80's.
Problem:
neither tort will stay in the hide for the night. Gaia can almost always be found in the same spot sleeping during the day and the temp there is 85*. Eros will sleep in the Hide during the day and sometimes at night (but not often). At night Gaia will almost always sleep on the cool side of the tank, 75*.
When I put them both in their hide before going to bed myself, (they are usually asleep when I put them in) They will be out and asleep in thier other spots (Eros on the 85* spot and Gaia on the 75* spot)
Should this worry me? When putting them in their soak this morning Gaia felt cold but she refuses to sleep in EVERY OTHER warm spot in the tank.
It may only be "New Dad" syndrome, but it worries me with such small ones!
