I've had Ike for a little over 3 months now. So he's around 5-6 months. Lately he'll go just lay flat on the floor for hours. He eats and poops fine. Nothing else that's worrisome. I'm not sure how to post pictures on here or else I would. He has the correct lighting and temps.

It can be normal, it depends on whether it's normal for him. We need some more info about him, like his lighting info, enclosure info, daily diet, etc. and some pics of him and his enclosure.

I think I got it? He's slowly been doing it. He'll do it a lot at night. He has an average of 105 basking temp. His cool side is 80-85. He has a reptisun t5 10.0 tube light. He has a foam wall that he likes to climb on and bask. There is also a tree he likes to use. There is a log house, and his food/water bowls. He eats reptiworms daily and is offered fruits and greens.
 
Zeke does this often, no worries. He does it for a lot of reasons I assume, but as far as I can tell he does it when he is too hot, when he pooped near his basking area, or when he is tired. And he almost always does it at the far end of the tank on the cool side.

Okay so they do this when they are tired? I've noticed he does it more throughout the day and a lot at night. Especially right before bed time. Thank you for you're help!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
