JCP Question

skyclad Jan 20, 2005 09:31 AM

I have noticed the past week that my JCP has been sleeping in his hide and not climbing. Can this be due to the winter weather? It is 80 on the warm side of the tank and 70 on the cool side. Is this normal behavior at this time of the season? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Is he going into shedding? My 6 foot JCP will go into her hide boxes when she is going into shedding mode. Also, they are not totally arboreal so they do spend some time on the ground.

actually yea, he is going into shedding mode but he's been in shedding mode for about a week now. I'll verify if his eye's capped yet.
