Message: <blockquote data-quote="WiseWarrior" data-source="post: 16165" data-attributes="member: 857">My G. rosea, Yoshi, who I've had for nearly eight years, has always been near her water dish. When I first got her she started burrowing under her water dish. I had to make supports for her water dish, otherwise it would have collapsed on her because it was so heavy. She's normally been in her burrow, which has her water dish on top, or right outside the burrow; still near the water dish. I recently moved the water dish on the ground so she could get to it easier. The first day I did this she still sat under her burrow. The last week since then she's been on the opposite side of her cage, where the water dish is. She moves around some, but is mostly near it.Aren't the signs of too low humidity that a T starts moving slowly? Or are there other signs? Yoshi has never been sluggish except before a molt. All her molts have gone fine, she's eating fine, and besides being near her water dish all the time, doesn't seem negatively effected. Is everything fine, or is this cause for concern? Thanks!</blockquote>
