Hello everyone,
One of my male geckos enjoys to spend most of his time in the cold hide. He does eat well, is gaining weight and all, but he is much less active than most other leos. If allowed he will stay in the cold hide all day, just come our for a minute at night to go by the warm hide and stay there a bit, and then goes back to his favorite place at the cold hide.
Could this mean that something is wrong with him or it may just be personality? Otherwise he shows no other symptoms of illness. If picked up he walks normally, opens the eyes fully, etc. Some of my other geckos come out of the hides when I go by their tanks, follow my finger and voice around and are generally more active and inquisitive. This male doesn't seem to care much. He is around 2 years old. Temperatures and housing are top notch.
