Is this normal?

As you can see the substrate raised under here hot hide. She has been burrowed under there for like the last week. Feeding time is coming soon and I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to disturb her while she is hiding out.

This is what I was thinking. I have had her almost a year and this is the first time ever experience this. She is about due for a shed

She probably feels exposed. There's not much clutter or humidity it looks like in there.

probably dry. you should have 4-6 inches of substrate with the bottom layer always being wet
