Likes hammock a little too much?

[MurderVictim]

In the last week or so, it seems as though Wolfgang has gotten a little too comfortable with his hammock. He lays in it quite a bit, and while that's not a problem, he prefers to lay there than bask when he needs to. He still basks, just not as much as I think he should. He lays there for hours at a time...And I'm not sure if I should do something or not.

I was going to get a second hammock, since the one we have is getting a little small for him. I'd keep that one on the cool side, and the second on the hot side. But I haven't had the chance to get another.

So, here's my question: Should I leave him be, or move the hammock to the warmer part of his tank and see what happens?

Temps: Hot side is normally 100-104, sometimes over that to about 106. Cool side is never below 80,normally 85-90, and the hammock is at the very end of the cool side.

They do love their hammocks, I would leave it. Changes can cause stress in the dragon weather it be minor or worse. As they get older some dragons tend to get lazy too and a hammock is a great spot for them to just sit back and chill. :wink:

Oh, I didn't think of that. Wolfgang doesn't seem to be the type to get too upset over changes, but now that I think of it, he probably wouldn't like his favorite spot being moved, lol. I was just nervous. I guess he's getting to the age where he's not going to be moving around a lot.

Don't get that wrong some dragons are just lazy where some are always active... in my experience, I see more lazy dragons then active ones.
