Baby cham resting (eyes active but tail curled) during the day a bad sign?

My 1 month old cham is very active, and usually after eating he crawls to a certain spot and hugs the branch. His tail curls up but his eyes stay fully active and are alert. Later he gets up and moves around, but I just found it odd. Baby chams take naps?!

He does not want to get a cramp.

As long as his eyes are active, I'd say he's not napping... probablly just digesting & resting a little, tho I'm no expert. I want to say mine take a similar "after meal breather" but I'm most often at work after I feed them so cannot accuratley say...
