Leo in humid hide during the day

Well the subject says it all. My newly acquired female is always hanging out in her humid hide on the warm side of the tank during the day. The temp on that side is about 90, while on the cooler side it's at least 80.

Is this something I should be worried about, or is this behavior normal?

She is eating (even out of my hand) and has pooped. I've had her since Tuesday.

Thanks!

its very normal behavior, leos are nocturnal, meaning they are active at night, during the day they stay in their hides and most rest, go into wherever you are keeping her at night and turn the lights on, she'll most likely be out exploring

nothing to worry about

I think the thing i was most worried about was the fact that she is always in the humid hide on the hot side of the tank, never on the cooler.

Is that still normal behavior?

Thanks!

Aaron, with the humidity in Colorado being as low as it is year round (and especially in the winter), you can expect your leos to spend a lot more time in their humid hides. Mine rarely use a dry hide at all.

Ok, thanks. Just wanted to make sure.

This is my first leo, so I'm not acclimated to their habits.

Thanks for the help everyone.
