Active mainly at dawn & dusk - like most wild animals. My captive-bred specimens are the same way.

Temperature is a key factor, however. Sometimes they are active at night during very hot weather when daytime temperatures are too high.

For normal spring temperatures & condidtions, seek them in early morning, or late afternoon basking on rocky spots just before dusk.
