I've observed some odd behavior over the last two days which I'm hoping someone will be able to explain. Between the two, Octavia has always been the more adventurous and active tort, she'll happily sleep out in the corner near the basking light. Mr.T comes out to eat and drink and that's pretty much it. If we put him under the light (or anywhere else for that matter) he'll sit for a minute or two, and then crawl right back into the hide and go to sleep. So imagine my surprise over the last two days to see Mr.T doing quick (for him) little laps around the enclosure. He's seems very determined too, anything in the way gets climbed over, even Octavia.
The only thing that has changed in their environment was when we had a thorough cleaning Sunday morning and replaced the coco coir with peat (coco was drying out too quickly). But he didn't start acting strangely until Wednesday afternoon, so I'm not sure if that's even a factor.
Does anyone have a guess what he might be up to? I'm starting to worry because he just flipped himself over and I don't want him doing that again when I'm not home. It's especially odd because Octavia is still acting completely normal.
Thanks,
