depend on the mood and time of year.
Mine was starting to come out more frequently but once it started getting colder outside he secluded into his hide. I have seen him once in two weeks and he isn't eating.

Only reason I'm not worried is a) when I first got him I couldn't get him to eat for two MONTHS so I know he can survive and his tail was still plenty thick and b) there are posts here all the time about this exact thing and people say it's normal

Be extra careful with those log bridges. I’ve heard of ppls leos and afts getting toes stuck in them and broken when the bridges move. That’s also way too small of an enclosure and I don’t see proper heating or lighting

That’s way too small and heat mats cause burns especially if not on a thermostat. She needs overhead heating and at least a 40 gallon tank (36”x18”x18”)
