My guy has been about the same. Lays in his basking spot and looks sleepy but does not sleep. If I let him out he makes a bee line for the nearest dark spot and crashes out. I made a little cave for him with a towel draped over his branch and he seems to like that. I've been letting him out in late afternoon and letting him sleep wherever he chooses (usually under this one lamp stand) for a while, then putting him in his cave when it get's full dark outside. He usually crawls in the rest of the way and bags out for the night. Then in the morning he pokes his head out and heads for the basking spot and the cycle begins anew.

I guess this is pretty normal, not all dragons go into full on hibernation when they are young from what I hear.



Hope that helps,



QB
