this is gunna sound silly but i have a new-ish very young brb.
MY SETUP estimate around 3-5 months old, maybe 10 inches long and no rounder than a good pen. his viv is 1.5' cube and i s heated by a single heatlamp with temperature regulated to 80*f max with a habistat and a digital thermometer. humidity is kept between 60 and 80%. he has one hide, one large water bowl, trees to climb on and one of those dodgy exoterra vine things too. His diet at the rep shop was 3x pinkies apparently but he was due his first fuzzy that week. the petshop lady saud to keep him on pinkies for his first feed as he'd be more comfortable that way. since then he has only eaten one pinkie in 2 weeks.

i know that in itself isnt a problem its just he spends a lot of time curled up wedged between his water bowl and tree. the g i quite tight so is it worth me placing a hide there too or will that small gap provide him the comfort and cover he desires? also is his lack of activity any cause for concern? at first he was constantly climbing et and now he just sits there. im not too worried as thats all my royal does too, just cause he so young and my first BRB i wanna make sure everythings fine for him. the setup is text book and ive followed all advice to the letter.
