It's interesting, having him teach me how to treat him. After experimentation, it turns out he likes to bask (a term often used by reptile keepers) at 105F. He'll spend an hour there, then backs off. He does not like the 75F zone in the back of the tank. He just shed again He's beautiful. He's doing as Vez said he would; go about a year between molts.

It is very odd to me that your T likes the hot spot. It really goes against their nature. Their instinct is to burrow to escape the heat. Their temperature inside the burrow is usually around 70-80 in the wild. They rarely come out during the day and some will web over their burrow during the day to try to keep the heat out. You've got an oddball there Roger.

Roger I have been conducting some similar experiments with my T. I'ts a curly hair I have sitting on top of a snake enclosure and I pushed it all the way up to the light and he stays on the glass as close to the heat as he can. 'weird'
