 Help ~ Acting Oddly

Nim is acting very strange. Earlier today she was trying to ’dig’ in her tank. She was going under her paper towels. Tonight she’s digging again. This time she’s digging in her water dish...of course water is everywhere. Do you think she wants a bath?

LOL, females dig, thats what they do, and males to of corse...Sometimes they will dig to lay eggs, but i do not think you will have to worry about that yet, lol, and in the wild they will sometimes dig themselves underground, especially for the Brumation period...

Check out a post i did called Look what peanut did, lol, you will see what i mean...it may be down a few ..lol

Nancy ~ Is that the post where she was digging in the sand mixture? I saw that...very cute!!! It’s just so odd...she’ll come down from her basking spot, dig along the water dish and then dig in the water dish, then she climbs back up to her basking spot. She’s been doing this now for the past 30 minutes or so. Should I be giving her stuff to dig in then?

Whats her substrate now? sorry i forget, lol...if you do not want to use sand/soil, or any loose substrate, try putting a big bath towel in there, she may like it, lol...

I use paper towels..easier to clean up her poo. LOL Oh, I’ll try a towel. She seems done now and looks like she’s ready for bed. That must have tired her out. I’ve never seen her do that before. I’m glad to hear that it’s normal.
