My sulcata is obsessed with

Whoops! As I was saying, obsessed with mud! When the sprinklers go on at night she will sneak out of her bunker. She will flick gobs of mud and sand on her back and go back in to sleep. Anybody else hear of this?

Very normal especially this time of year! They do it to cool off and soak.
