Hi, I'm new to this site so forgive me if I mess up anything! I have a beardie somewhere between 7-9 months old (the store wasn't sure how old he was when i got him 6 months ago, but he was definitely not a hatchling), and he seems to be acting kinda strange recently. When he was younger, he never used his hide, and eventually got too big for it. when i got him a newer one that fits him, he absolutely loved it. But now it seems he likes it a bit too much. He likes to sleep and sit in his hide a lot of the day recently, and i was origonally really worried about it. He has a fantastic appetite (eats like a hog every day), he's growing like a weed, his poops look good, and he's active, happy, curious, and alert when i take him out of his cage or feed him. he seems to be doing really well aside of this hide-thing. I thought it could have something to do with shedding, but it's been a while and he hasn't shed anything (I've been giving him plenty of baths). I've been planing on upgrading his tank to a bigger one asap that he'll use throughout his adult life, but I'm waiting until it becomes available. Should i be super worried about this? Could this have anything to do with sexual maturity, because he hissed at for the first time a day or two after this began
