Hello everyone my name is Ashley I’m new to the discussion forums so I apologize if I am doing this wrong... I have a quick question about my bearded Dragon, his name is King Henry! Whenever I let him out to roam my room he always finds the darkest place in the room, and he sleeps.. he will sleep all day in the dark place if I wasn’t worried about him getting too cold. Can this mean he isn’t getting enough sleep in his tank?
Welcome to BeardedDragon.org! These forums are great and I hope you find a lot of help here.
My bearded dragon does the exact same thing. It's nothing to be concerned about; since bearded dragons are cold-blooded, their bodies cool down when they are outside of their terrarium. Eventually they cool down to the point where they start feeling sleepy, which is when they will select a cozy space to sleep.
If this happens frequently, you may want to take your beardie out for shorter excursions so he can stay warm and awake during the day. If you notice that he sleeps a lot in his terrarium, too, this could be a sign of brumation if he's an adult.
Mystic loves cold dark places too, it's hard to track him down. I lost him a few weeks back, I was worried for a couple days. Found him by accident in the basement covered in Cobb webs. I think he needs a collar and a mini Tile Chip, lol.
