It’s so hot my Russian actually took a drink when I soaked her today; this is the first time she’s ever drunk in the summer.
I think she is actually in aestivation; she rarely comes out or eats. She kept disappearing and I finally realized she’s not always hanging out in her burrow; she’s crawling into her night box! It’s hotter in there (not too hot, but hotter) but it’s also darker; that’s the only attraction I can think of. Last night was the hottest night of the year (so far) and she actually slept in there. This is the only summer she’s ever *not* been a good eater so it’s a little nerve wracking but I keep reminding myself I’m always nervous over nothing!
