I have, by reading the various posts here, noticed that disturbing an animal that is sleeping in order to handle it is tolerated and even encouraged in this forum. Why exactly? Just because an animal is less responsive and perhapse slower due to low temperatures and light doesn't mean that it loves our attention. Such type of handling would no way be directed towards other animal species. Isn't it better to handle them at day, even if they are nervous?
Furthermore, there are predators in the wild that catch these animals while they are sleeping or resting. For example woma pythons catch eastern bearded dragons (Pogona barbata) in that way. We might frighten our dragons more than we do imagine. I am talking mostly about newly acquired animals, which have not been acustomed to human contact yet.
