Is it normal for baby panthers to nap occassionally, say after eating?

My baby Carpets almost always take siesta after eating, I've noticed. About an hour of napping, usually near their basking side of the cage, then they're up and off to do more exploring. When I feed them more than once a day, they nap after each feeding. I don't know if this routine is standard for all species, just what I've noticed with my wee little lateralis tykes.

As long as nothing else is wrong, yes. My baby jacksonii used to sleep a lot, but he had an eye infection that was hard to catch because he was sleeping and he died. But yeah, having a nap is generally a normal thing.
