Dexter is a hypo tangerine and Morgan is a high yellow. Both are healthy, happy and very pretty and tame but getting spoiled. We have bought 4 tanks and upgraded.
The current tank is 48x24x18 custom wood tank with built in light on the ceiling. We switched caves a while back but Dexter didn't want anything to do with it, so we returned it and put his old cave back in his favorite warm moist hide spot on the UTH on a tile and he is happy again. Well we also had a bonsai they quit using so I traded it for a XL cave which is 12" wide so when they are adults it will be perfect and it was on sale. Well Dexter doesn't seem to like it as well )-: It has a warm cloth in it all the time and i warm up with hot water and sits on the UTH.
My question is If he gets cold i wonder if he will go in there? Or are Leo's stubborn and set in there ways? It is hot now in TX. so we installed a small 4" fan to the ceiling for circulation and the cool side is usually around 84-86 we cant seem to drop the temp more than that because of the air temps. in TX. And in the moist hide on the UTH it is set at 90 degrees. My husband says leave it there because they will know where they need to go for warmth and coolness. I wonder as they seem spoiled or stubborn? Any thoughts/suggestions will be appreciated. THX

You were right! They use the large cave like crazy. We are not moving things anymore, we have it where they are happy and comfortable. They sleep up top on the big tree root in turns. They are so silly, half the night they run back and forth by the glass trying to figure out how to escape. They crawl all over my arms and Dexter tries to climb up over my face to get out but they are young and move fast when they want so It will be awhile before they get to hang out on the couch with us. Thnx
