A quick observation. My hatchling S is out sunning in a paperbox top with some bark as substrate. It is about 72 degrees outside. He is running around like crazy, having a great time.
His inside habitat is a 20 ga long aquarium with same substrate. Temps over 80 and humidity over 70%. He seems to stay away from the side of the tank with the basking bulb, and in general does not walk around much, only to get to the food bowl, and hangs out in his hide or behind it.
So he seems to be more active while outside, though cooler. I read about torts running around their habitats, and I want to make him happy. I sometimes feel he is lethargic, but then when outside he perks up considerably. Normal?
