I recently got Izzy a bigger enclosure and it's much nicer than her other one. She was very intrigued the first couple of days and now she's doing the same as she way with the other: she's not being her neutral colors and constantly trying to get out. She seems a little lighter on her back/head than she used to, but I want to see that soft orange color. =[
The highest point of the basking area is 110°F (it's angled so there is a decent range) it's 86°F around the lamp area (kind of wish it was warmer, I may need to add more verticality) and the cooler side is 76°F. I need to get a thing to measure the UV, it's so high up and going through the wire mesh..
All she does when I let her out is roam for a few minutes and then goes somewhere to nap. She's not going in her nook to nap in the enclosure and it's just a couple degrees warmer in there than on the floor, so why she has to get out to do basically the same thing while being MORE exposed is beyond me.
I know I will take her out when she behaves that way when she wants to poop, so she may have just decided to keep at it even after she's already pooped. At least with the tall lip and opaque sides she's not banging her nose on the glass anymore..
