cheese has been staying in his hide A LOT.
he only comes out a few times a day (once or twice) to walk around.
i had two hides for him but i saw him try to eat the tape that was covering the clear plastic so i removed it.
now, he just has one (black) humid hide. i mist the substrate in the hide everyday since it tend to dry out.
if the humidity drops below 70, i usually just mist the substrate under the basking spots and CHE and it rises back up to 80, which is great ?
last week (and this week), the temperature has been dropping below 70f so im a bit bummed out he wouldnt getting any uvb ?
he currently weighs 85 grams which seems a bit small but i'm not sure

i checked under his hide again to spray it down a bit and it seems like he's been "burrowing" a bit LOL
ive noticed him digging a few days ago but thought he'd stop
i think he's gonna dig HUGE burrows in the future ?

just added coco coir in a few hours ago
i saw that he nose was a bit red (from digging so much in orchid bark), so i bought him coco coir to burrow in
got a huge 11 lb block for about 15 dollars
removed a bit of his orchid bark (used for my plants) and added the coir in
i hope he doesnt dirty his water too much ? ?
he LOVES to push around his vine (more like walking behind and around it)
at first, i was worried about him getting tangled
but since i buddled it up a bit, he had no problem circling it a few times ?
