I've had my leopard for about 10 months. Her habitat has been very stable and consistent, regular feeding and cleaning of the critter carpet. Water and a moist hide are readily available. She has a warm hide and a cool hide, the warm being under a low wattage red lamp that I find keeps the temp a little higher and more stable than the undertank pad does on its own.
For the first 6 months or so she was always fairly conducive to my handling her, very reactive and after about 11PM she would come out and watch me if I was listening to music or making any kind of noise in the tank. She is very responsive and enjoys grabbing the mealworms out of my fingers while I am putting them in her bowl.
I've noticed she spends almost all her time in the cool side of the tank, venturing over to the warm side to relieve herself and to digest but otherwise almost never there.
Now, as of late she has been sleeping outside of her hide on the cool side. My room has soft ambient light through metal blinds during the day and is consistently dark at night with just the occasional computer screen. But she just seems to be spending a lot more time outside of the hide, even sleeping.
Is this normal or should I be concerned? She remains responsive and healthy in all other indications.
