question about my leopard

nitram · #1 (**permalink**) 06-23-2010, 12:55 AM

so i got a leopard on Saturday, she's really cool.
i provided her with 2 hides, 1 of which is a "moist box" which i made out of a small tub with a corner of the lid cut through and its got a little ramp which makes it accessible as it's entrance is through the top. she seems to like it a lot, she spends most of the day there, and goes into the log hide on the other side like in the evening. at night she's everywhere.
question: is it ok for her to be in the moist hide for long periods of time? she's not in there 24hrs a day, but she is in there for a long time, like 12hrs or so maybe more. any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
oh in case anyone wants to know, i provided the box as a caresheet i read had recommended. its filled with an inch of moss.

shes more active during the day because shes nocturnal.
its okay that shes in the humid hide most of the time, she may be shedding soon, she may not be. The humid hide is very important to have, so please do not take it out. Its not a problem if she hangs out in there

thanks!
didnt think it was a problem but didnt know so i wanted to make sure.
i put the humid box in the cool side, which is where she is most of the day, she will come out as the sun is setting and chill in the other box. she's all over the place at night.
