My ~5.5-month-old beardie lay down where it seemed he wanted to sleep tonight. My wife thought it was odd since he's never slept there before. When I looked at him, his eyes were still open, so he hadn't gone to sleep yet. I didn't immediately notice breathing (though I know their breathing slows down when sleeping), so I touched him on the nose. He didn't react to the touch, so I gently lifted his head a little bit. My wife lifted the obstacle he was lying under and he immediately sprang to life and b-lined it for a wayward cricket that had been hiding.
This all indicates to me that he's just fine, since he was then plenty mobile. But the fact that he didn't react to me touching his nose struck me as a bit odd. Does this seem like odd behaviour? Or am I overthinking how much he might want to react to a boop when tired?
