So, a weird thing Ardie's started doing these past few days is that when he wakes up in the morning, he may be looking out his hide but wouldn't come out on his own. A couple occasions where he was sleeping at his basking spot, I had even discovered he'd climbed down and into his hide (which is part of the basking rock, a Thrive Desert Corner Hide).
But whenever I took him back out and put him up to bask (so I can get him to eat), he'll stay there until evening, about 7-7:30 PM, before going bed in the hide.
He otherwise seems normal for the most part, and his temperatures aren't any different from usual (it does get to 115 F right at the peak, but just a step down to the left, it's only about 96.6 F; he only goes up to the peak if he's very cold or I put him there after a bath to help him warm up faster).
Still stooling as usual, though last time I saw him poop, it was oddly dry and shriveled at the end. He also stressmarks at the belly before he poops as well.
Is there anything I should be concerned about? I hope he's not trying to brumate since he's a bit young for that and I've been keeping him away from cold as much as possible.
