I have an 8 year old female Brown Burmese that I moved to an outdoor enclosure about a week ago. I've provided her with an x-large dogloo kept at 75° for warmth and extra shelter. She won't come out of the igloo on her own. I've taken her out every day once the outside temps reach the 70s. Once I get her out, she usually eats and explores fairly normally. Today though, I took her out twice, and both times she went back in. Sometimes if I just set her on the ramp to the igloo, she'll go back in, but this time I set her completely off to the side, and she still crawled back in. When I moved her into a new inside enclosure a few years ago, she stopped eating for several days. We talked to Vic Morgan, and he suggested adding some of her substrate from her old enclosure to her new one to help her adjust. I've don't that with this enclosure, but she still wants to stay hidden. Should I continue taking her out daily, or should I just let her decide to come out eventually on her own? Any suggestions are welcome.
