My 2 year old leopard Tiger is acting strangely, she has started sleeping all day long a couple of days a week in her nest box away from heat. Why has she started to do this. i am starting to get worried about her. She never did it last year. Thank you Terry or anyone else who replies lol

She is 6inches and weighs 717g

hi Michelle she could be finding the humidity a bit low. when it is warm we tend to let them outdoors where the humidity is close to what you could expect in their native country.when humidity is low normally this is their cold period.since you obviously have a good background heat with basking facilities indoors perhaps if you increase her bathing to ensure she is hydrated and spray an area of soil near the heat but not directly benbeath her basking site with water.i hope this will increase humidity and encourage her to be more active.dry conditions can encourage a runny nose so keep a close eye on her just in case.
