Odd behavior...

[dorymarlin955]

I got a pair of cresties 2 months ago, one is now 8-9 months old, the other is now about 5 months old. This morning I noticed the younger one was in the front corner of the tank kind of nestled into the eco-earth, I gently nudged it a little to make sure it was ok and it climbed up the glass a bit, where it stayed all day. A few minutes ago I noticed it seemed like it was trying to bury itself again, is this normal?? Yesterday I had to move the tank around a little (from one table to another) and the light was off for awhile and then I turned it back on when I was done. That's the only thing that's different. Should I be worried about it?

Well it climbed back up on the glass after awhile and is acting normal now... still I wonder what that was for..?

Did you try upping the humidity? I hear animals dig when they feel too dry as a way to conserve their moisture.

They can dig for no reason. Some like hiding in their substrate.
