Message: <blockquote data-quote="poodude289" data-source="post: 241410" data-attributes="member: 49433">I've had a B. Hamorii for a few months now and everything was fine, and then I saw some mold starting to form and decided I wanted to take the mold out. This lead to me repositioning it's hide, and that seems to be when it started biting the ventilation holes. This has been happening for maybe four days now. I've tried using a smaller water dish, and a bigger water dish to try and rule out of it was humidity related. I haven't over-flowed the dish in a while because I was leaving it alone after stressing it out.When I put the T back in, I even brushed it towards the hide and it stayed in it for a while. Then, when it was out at night and it eventually became 9 A.M. - my light flicked on and the T stayed in the same position during the day for probably five hours because it was terrified. Night time again, it started climbing and chewing the vent holes. The biggest thing I can see causing this is how it's hide is positioned differently in terms of the depth / ramp because it's impossible to have it exactly how it was. I'm going to get some pictures posted on here tomorrow.Can I get some ideas on what to do? Should I try moistening the substrate again? This is a 1.5" DLS T and I'm getting concerned something is severely wrong and it will die.</blockquote>
