Is My Leo Normal?

My Leo seems to spend all its time lying in one place, it is like half on and half off the under tank heater, there is a cave on the undertank heater and one on the cooler side, but he just seems to lay there. there is nothing wrong with him he is eating and drinking fine I dust his crickets with a calcium powder twice a week. the temps are 80-85c on the warm side and 70-75c on the cold side during the day and at night they drop buy about 10c.

They are nocturnal, so you won't see much activity during the day. It sounds pretty normal to me.

Re: Is My Leo Normal?

but by nocturnal I thought they would hide all day or most of it, not lay out in the open all day.

Re: Is My Leo Normal?

my GF's leo does that too. try moving his hide half on half off the under tank heater if you are really concerned. I would bet he is just regulating his body temp at the expense of hiding. the tank heater is just a little warmer than he wants, its kinda like how when its too hot at night you may throw a leg out from under the covers . we moved the hide for ours over a few inches and now he sleeps all day just inside the door to his hide.
