My beardie didn't use his hiding log until he decided to start brumating. Some beardies hide a lot, especially when stressed, ill or in a new environment. And some beardies hardly ever hide. You could take it as a compliment... he feels so comfortable in your presense that he doesn't feel the need to hide.

Hi there!
I only have one beardie that prefers to sleep with her head deep in her bran substrate. Otherwise, the others bask, and sleep in the open.
I believe it has something to do with their natural instinct to hide from preditors. As mentioned in the previous post, be flattered that your beardie trusts you.
