Yes. And I am buying a temperature gun tomorrow to make sure. So one thing I have been worried about. I have had many lizards and snakes in the past and I know they loved the heat. They were always fairly warm when I carried them and handled them. My.baby box turtle always seems cold to the touch. Is this normal? He is always hiding way under thr substrate and I imagine it is cold under there. Is this normal?
It' normal for babies to bury themselves. As tiny babies they spend most of their time buried. As long as enclosure temps are good he'll be fine.
