[QUOTE="marmar2897, post: 221028, member: 39673"] Hi, thanks for all the info. I checked on Tuca this morning and found she has, again, buried herself. So funny! The heating pad doesn't affect the temp too much. One morning it was even 68 degrees in the enclosure and the pad hadn't turned on yet. It only turns on when the temperature falls below a certain level and then turns off when it warms back up. It's connected to and controlled by the enclosure's thermostat. I put my hand in to see what it felt like when the pad was on and there's a definite temp difference from one side of the enclosure to the other so I'm guessing if Tuca get's too hot, she will venture to the cooler part until the pad turns off. Now, though, I'm wondering if I should relocate the pad since it is positioned near one of her hides, the hide that is currently entombed in. If she wants to stay in there, it cannot get too hot for her. And now that the enclosure has more substrate, it is more box shaped. Hoping this alleviates the height issue. The airflow could be better. There's a ceiling fan diagonal from her enclosure that's always on. Will that help with airflow? But now I'm wondering how to feed her if she wants to be buried? I don't want to disturb her but she hasn't eaten anything for a while. I read on another post that she will come out when she is ready, so does that mean she will come out when she is hungry?
