I have a H. hainanum that seems to wander her enclosure at night (glass 5 gallon) more than I'd expect of a burrower, though usually staying in burrow (built by me rather than any expansion by her) during the day. She's eaten several roaches in recent days so she's not hunting food that I can tell so was wondering if the fact we only keep our house temps at about 65/66 is making her search for a warmer corner in the tank somewhere. I'm guessing 66 in the home translates to 70's inside the tank but don't have a thermometer to verify. Should I be underheating / backheating the tank with a heat pad (she's got about 8 inches of garden soil mixed with vermiculite)? Anyone here who keeps their tank temps much warmer or within a really tight range daytime versus nighttime?
