How does your beardie sleep?

[muzikfreakah]

Now, on their temporary viv, the climb up the side screen when the lights go out and sleep there till morning. Should I put side screens also on their future viv?

I say they coz both of them do this and they sleep hanging near each other as well. I dont know if its a sibling thing.

Beardies will always find a bizare way to sleep, no matter how 'normal' their set up is.
Dexter went through a phase of sleeping with her head on the sand and her bottom ontop of a brick!
Personally I wouldnt bother altering your new viv just for sleep habits. Most dragons can happily sleep in a number of different positions.

All id says is to keep an eye on your two beardies as they grow older. They could start to dominate one another or fight.

Ok, thanks! I really thought they were more of land creatures rather than climbing tree types lolz. Well I cant wait to see their reaction o their new viv, Casa Beardie lolz!

I will be keeping an eye on them, I do notice that the thinner yet longer guy is more aggressive, getting on top of the female when scared (looks aggressive but can also be interpreted as baby running to mommy lolz) but if real aggresion sets in, they will each have their own viv.

My male is another one that sleeps wherever he's at when the lights go out. He always looks quite relaxed- legs splayed out, dangling off his log... sometimes I check for breathing!
My girl is a cuddlebug though. I put her in her blankie at night and she burrows around till it's just right, then curls up into a ball like a cat, and goes to sleep. When I transport her back to the viv she wiggles like she has to reposition herself to that perfect comfy position.

Wow! I would love to see a picture of your female doing that, that sounds so cute!

Me too!

Dex can be a real snuggler too.

Speedy has found a new place to sleep. We bought this log that has a bit of a hide underneath. A couple of nights she found a way under it where the little hole is and slept there. Most of the time she's on the floor between it and one rock we have there.

Zoom Zoom sleeps right where she basks. Almost as if she's to tired to move when the lights go off.

malibu sleeps wrapped in her fleece on a squashy pillow on her viv.

My male only does this when he falls asleep on me. If he is in his viv he just kinda plops wherever. But when hes on me he likes to find the perfect spot to wiggle into place and go to sleep.

Awww... little wiggly dragons! Melts my heart.

Skyler climbs like a monkey up his vine all the way to the top and sleeps there. It scares me so much and one time he wanted to get down so he let go with his front legs and pivoted with his back legs, swinging to a lower part of the vine.. scared me so much!! :shock: :shock:

That hasn't happened to me yet, but I dread it, that's why I lowered the hammock down no so he wont reach the screen siding of my viv. I'm afraid that if he caught the screen and slept there, he mite just wake up and fall in the middle of the night.

I usually put Kenshin in his polar fleece blankie at lights out time. sometimes if he's feeling spunky he comes back out all like "I don't WANNA go to sleep" then in about 2 minutes he's conked out in a corner or something. If i put him back in his blankie he'll be in EXACTLY the same position in the morning. When the boy sleeps... he sleeps HARD.

So cute.

I wrap my beardie up in a little flease blanket every night. The put him back in his viv to sleep
