Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bast" data-source="post: 10822" data-attributes="member: 379">So Noelle has been spending quite a bit more time in her hide lately (which is one of those plastic rock hides you see for reptile enclosures), which is odd for her; she hasn't even come out much lately to eat her crickets, preferring just to wait till they wander inside lol.  I know is normal for many T's, so  I wasn't worried, but it had me a bit curious.  I checked about to make sure there wasn't anything around her tank causing any disturbances and found everything was perfect.  So I decided to shine a light into her hide just to see what she does in there all day.She's done quite a bit of interior decorating!  She's got much of the substrate piled up against the very back wall.  The floor is a very lovely, thick silk carpeting, AND she's started to burrow out a tunnel on the one side.  I even caught her in mid-dig!I knew she was a digger, since she always excavates near her water dish, and I will occasionally see piles of dirt around her tank...but it was just really cool to see what she's done inside/underneath that plastic rock.  I wish I could photograph the inside of it to show you all, but it would be impossible without moving and destroying all her hard work.   I'm definitely going to keep my eye on her home reno and see what she does with that little tunnel she's making <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
