shedding or just strange

[scribegirl1996]

i got my first leo about 2 weeks ago and every thing is going swimmingly

but im worried about one thing i know leos sometimes prefer their moist hide but Jude (my leo)
has been in it constantly at night! is he shedding or does he just a little strange ? ive put some info about his care and habitat and general stuff like that

im sorry if this is not the right forum i don't think it is ....

stats
tank; 10 gal
substrate; repti carpet
temps cool 73.3 warm 84 constant
feeding;5 crickets at 5;30
behavior; mellow
water; changed after every feeding replaced every day

any answers would be awsome thanks

If he were shedding, it wouldn't take 2 weeks. He could feel safest in there, the enclosure could be a bit too dry for him, or, if there isn't a dry hide on the warm side, he could just be trying to get warm. Your temps are too low, which could also be why he's so "mellow." You want the warm side 88-93. I'd strongly suggest picking up a 20 LONG (and some extra heating), as you'll get a much better temp gradient than in an itty bitty 10 gallon.

Temperatures for all leos regardless of size:
88-93 F (31-34 C) ground temp at warm end inside the warm dry hide
no greater than 85 F (29.5 C) air temp - 4 inches above ground on the warm end
no greater than 75 F (24.5 C) air temp - 4 inches above ground on the cool end

Leave the UTH on 24/7. Can turn off overhead heating at night.

Be sure to check out the very thorough leo caresheet linked below in my signature for as up-to-date advice that I can give.
