sleep

So I have been doing a lot of research on Chinese Water Dragons and I just found out that they hibernate! What can I do to prepare for when they hibernate and what should I do when they are in Hibernation? And do they also hibernate in humid places? -Thanks!

So i just recently solved a problem and another appeared. So i got home last night and went to sleep. And in the morning i woke up and the "lid" for the tank was off. He was luckily still in there. I have sleep walked before but never anything like this. This isnt the place to go for sleep...

Okay, so I just signed up to this forum thing so I'm still learning how to work it, pardon me if I'm a bit slow when replying and stuff. As well as this, I'm very new to the reptile world, I got my first leopard gecko on Thursday after falling in love with the leo at college where I study animal...

I have a 2 year old mediterranean spur thigh and I was just wondering how long she should sleep for, roughly. Most days she will wake herself up wander around a bit, eat, nap, wander a bit more have a bath and go back to bed, but there have been a few days- today being one- that I have turned...

Hey all! So recently my tortoise (horsefield), has been doing some strange behaviour. He's digging in the corner of his table, which is close to the basking area and tends to just sleep there. Im certain he's not digging because he's cold, as he has a cool side to go to (18-20oC average) I...

We have a horse field tortoise who is approximately 18 moths old. We have had him about 6-7 months now and so far has been a very happy active tortoise who has been eating well. Recently we have been putting him outside for a few hours on hot sunny days with an area of shade and plenty of...

My 14-month old Horsfield has started slowing down recently and isn't interested in eating and would sleep all day if I let her. I'm presuming she's getting ready for hibernation and have reading up on this but still am slightly confused. When can I start the 2 week winding down period? How long...

We've recently rehomed a 5-year-old Horsfield. We made him a big tort table and we've ensured he has a combi lamp with temperatures from 29 - 34degrees. In the cold end of his table it's about 20degrees. Problem is he sleeps all of the time. He only seems to get up when gently encouraged...

Hi, I don't think this is anything to worry about but I've noticed me beardie sleeps with its mouth slightly open, sometimes with its tongue out, does any1 else have this? It's breathing is fine during the day and even in its sleep, there's no visible signs of nasal/ respiratory issues. It's...

This is a typical day of Boris follows the same pattern as his owner (me) ;) Sleep through the day; (light & heatmat hard to get temps correct with just heatmat so you know :)) Wakes up and wants feeding; Now wants to play games and come on reptile forums; I hoped you enjoyed the day in...

And your snake escaped, do you think it could try slithering in & down your throat. A nice dark warm hole. Dont even ask what made me think of this, because i dont know lol.

Is it normal for baby Bearded Dragons to sleep standing up on hind legs in the corner of the vivarium? Or is mine a bit strange?:ooo: He props himself up behind a plastic cactus in the corner and sleeps there all night on his hind legs. Had Idris a week now. He seems happy and is eating fine...

Hey everyone. Just thought I would post on here asking for some advice. I own 2 Herman Tortoises, Every year their eating patterns are ok and as they are both young I've always followed my vets advice and not hibernated them. Now the problem I'm having is the bigger of the two has been asleep...

Hi, I have had my 2 year old Mediterranean spur thigh tortoise for 3 months now and he has been pooing/eating/sleeping pretty regularly so I thought everything was fine. I moved house a week ago and he hasnt been the same since, all he seems to do is sleep. When his basking light comes on in...
