i recently covered two sides with black paper, and am getting a new digital temperature gauge in case mine is reading incorrectly. should i get a timer so the heat changes daily, or is ambient light enough to maintain his circadian rhythm? he’s mostly been burrowing in the center or on the cool side, so it doesn’t seem like heat is the issue. i’ve been incorporating water into his substrate once a week so it doesn’t get too dry. a few days ago i placed him in his water saucer and he stayed there for a few hours before burrowing again, and didn’t come up until i pulled him up for feeding tonight. his sides seem soft, so impaction doesn’t seem like the problem. his underbelly is uniformly pale and his legs seem fine- he just paddles them sometimes whenever i bring him up. i really want him to be happy and healthy, and everything i’ve looked up and tried hasn’t seemed to work. any advice is very much appreciated!
