That is usually a good sign!

There's nothing wrong , they are just staying cool . As you continue to grow your collection , you will see that more and more animals as they mature will "Lay Cold"(males & females) this time of year . It can also mean that your hot spot may be too hot , and they are trying to get away . But being that we're still in the season , and they are breeding I wouldn't worry too much . A good sign is them laying at the warm end more often this time of year , meaning they are possibly gravid . Hope this helps , best of luck to you this season .
