    My temps are staying around 95-100F humidity goes between 55-65. At night the temp gets to about 70-F oh yes, I have yet to find poop in her home, she does the same thing, every other day or so in her soak. I redid her home so I will take pics and post them for you in a bit :)

    I’m dealing with the same thing with our new little girl! We’ve had her for about a week and she’s doing the same thing. She stays buried more than she is exposed.
