Are red sided nocturnal?? Cleo doesn't come out much during the day, at least that I see, but when the lights go out I see her all over her tank. Is this because red sided are nocturnal or is she still getting use to our household. Zena is just the opposite and is out most of the day and heads for her den or hammock when the lights go out.Also I've had her 1 month which makes her about 3.5 months old.

Steve, so you're saying your gang does what they want, when they want, all hours of the night?? You of all people should know that can/may lead to trouble. :p

Where Houdini is blind, he doesn't really have much of a circadian rhythm anymore. He's always out running around at night. I can go in a 4 in the morning and he's on the move. Downside is he's right next to Sithis' cage, and after only a week or two Sithis has started coming out at night to watch Houdini and sleeping during the day.
It's kind of cute.
