I have had my creasted for about two years now but i think he is at least three maybe four years old. The tank has a heat pad in the top of the tank and the room its in is around 69 degrees F. He gets misted and is feed GCD and crickets both rotated every few days. What has gotten me conserned is that the past few weeks he has been hiding under his water bottle or under the fake plant in the mulch substrate. Is this a normal behavior (I havent seen him do it before recently). If its abnormal what is the cause and how to i fix it? Any help is apreciated I am out of ideas.
PS: He has leaves to hide under on the side of the tank but rarely does anymore, the back wall is a stifome. And he did just go through a shed, but has been under the bowl after that still.

Thankyou for any help

Doesn't sound like anything bad to me. Not a good idea to use mulch substrate though.... LOTS of stories about geckos becoming impacted and dying on that stuff. If you prefer to have a more natural setup, go with eco earth... There is still the possibility of impaction happening on that stuff as well, but WAY less chance than becoming impacted on the mulch or any bark or wood chip substrate.
