Odd sleeping behavior.

[Noctura]

Hello guys. My boyfriend and I have a bearded dragon named Phoenix (he has introduced him/her on the forum before but we did not provide photos.) I noticed that he/she likes to sleep plastered against the glass both on top of his log perch, and on the ground of the tank. Is this normal? We have thermometers and a heat gun and all of the daily temperatures are as recommended, I just thought it was strange that he would rather sleep like this in such odd areas as opposed to going into his hide that has long been provided for him.

Yep it's normal for beardies to do that. Babies especially seem to enjoy sleeping in weird positions lol. I think there's an entire thread dedicated to strange sleeping pictures around here somewhere, actually

Aha! Thanks! I wouldn't have thought to have checked there. I was worried the beardie was stressed or something. Thanks!

No problem
And oops, my bad. Looks like the link I posted has the search terms still highlighted

Mine all did that until I started tucking them in blankets at night. They love that so much that will not go to sleep now until they are tucked in. All three wait for it.
