Now to your set up Bloods and short tails do best in totes or tubs. But working with what you have it in. You need to cover at least 2/3 of the top of your cage to help hold your humidity in. Your low side should be closer to 73. Unlike Reds Bloods i found Short tail prefer it a little cooler. Also you need to ditch the light. The light coming into the room is plenty. Having a light on will stress them out. They prefer it darker makes them feel safer. Bloods and Short tails stress easy so more than likely it's just stress. How do you check temps? If you don't have one you really need to get a temp gun.
I have a zoo med item# RT-1. Its the kind where you take the top off point and it gives a reading after pushing the button. It lines up with the temps on the digital probed and analog therms I use in each tank. Its 81 throughout the tub.
