my gecko is out side for once and not in his hide sleeping i guess? he had his eyes open and was stiff i thought he was dead but when i opened the lid he got up and was not dead.

can leopard geckos sleep with there eyes open?

he was like it from the morning till now. at 15:50 just got me thinking whys his eyes still open and not moving and he had his head pressed against the tub so added to the thing of thinking he was dead.

i am thinking like this probley cause i have just lost my bearded dragon and may be im just scared and thinking that i will lose my others.

Having your eyes shut isn't as important as you may think for a lot of organisms which sleep.

Actually, I've just remembered that I went to get my leo the other day and she was looking at me but when I touched her she got a big fright and looked around as if she had been in a daze. Can't confirm if she was actually asleep or not though.
