Interesting! Makes sense. I have a Russian that loves to burrow (always with the front end) and nap like that... I know they're big diggers, but could this be a sign that I'm keeping the tank too hot or cold? Initially I thought it might be an escape attempt, but now that I've added a higher level of substrate, she spends much less time burrowing (I'm thinking she spent more time before because it was harder to get the burrow to her liking because the substrate wasn't deep enough).It is an important distinction. Digging with front legs is not digging a nest - it's digging a burrow or trying to get out (too hot, too cold, feeling unsafe). Digging with only the back legs is nesting.
