i am not sure if there is something wrong with my corn or not, he is just over 1 and used to spend all his time hiding in his bed, but this last couple of weeks he is more active and always seems to be out, is there something wrong?

What are his temps like? Have you changed anything like his substrate, moved hides around etc? How long have you had him? Is he about to shed? Is there anything different about his daily routine? Is he still eating ok?

Hi, the temps, shedding cycle, eating and viv layout is important, as herriotfan says. They are very sensitive to environment. I've also found that my corns' behaviour has changed with maturity, and also that they seem to go in phases - for a couple of weeks they may be very sociable, then, even if not shedding, they may go into a phase of sleeping a lot or, when you approach them, reacting as if they're saying, 'do I know you?' They aren't always predictable, bless them.

All the best!
