For my sulcata to never sleep in its hide spot? He likes to burrow instead, in the same corner every night. Shoud i start setting him in there every night until he gets used to it? Or just let him do as he pleases? The temp in the hide spot is 87 & the tank is 96 & the humidity is about 76... Any suggestions will help!

Only the basking should be 95-100 the all over temp should be 80 and the humidity 80, your 76 humidity is fine. I would bring the hide down to 80 and only have the basking area in the upper 90's. the hide might be to warm. Correct the temps then put him in the hide and see if he likes it. Or you could leave him be, or move the hide to his spot. But I would get the temp a little lower for the over all temp

I agree roses hide temp stays between 75 and 85 any higher she stays out. It never gets any lower her bedroom temp stays around 80 all the time. Then she has a basking spot that stays in the upper 90 low 100.
