Default Tom's favourite pastime it seems!

Appears that this is all that Tom wants to do!
Dug him out last night from under the basking thingy on the right and showered him under a nice warm shower as he was having trouble getting the dirt away from his eyes / head! (he seemed to enjoy the shower more than sitting in a bath)

Will leave him there tonight and shower him again tomorrow :P

Some of mine hide away a lot sometimes, it's what the like to do, but I don't give mine showers, I don't think they like showers, maybe a short spray with the mister x

how long has she been dug under for? I had to dig tom out as he'd been down for a few days and was quite concerned!

mine only goes down for the night, tends to be directly under the basking bulb so she gets right up (that and I think my other one helps get her up sometimes... have certainly seen her get him up when she saw me put food in)

hmm, will leave him for the night and if he's still there (which i suspect he will be) when i come home from work, i'll maybe dig him out

Now disguised as a piece of artificial grass :P

Thanks catwoman, it did seem like he enjoyed it as he stuck his head right out (water was warm, not hot) and on a gentle spray. I'm still learning though so all advice is good
