Hiding (wasn't sure where to post this)

So Khaleesi does this quite a lot.....not every night but I'm wondering if I should be worried. She has her lights on for 12-14 hrs a day and none on at night. She has 2 hides and plants to hide behind as well. When I noticed it tonight I went ahead and turned her lights off. Just curious if anyone else has seen this and should I do something??

12 to 14 hours are a summer light schedule, and her instincts are telling her that it's not summer so she wants to sleep sooner. When it started getting chilly, I gradually decreased my lights down to about 10 hours. Shorter if they wanted to sleep before lights out. Keep an eye on Khaleesi's behavior, and she'll let you know what she needs. It's nothing to worry about, it's 100% normal.

Thank you, I will back her down to 10 hrs a day. I've learned quite a bit in the few weeks, but I'm still new to this. Y'all have been sooo helpful. Its so nice to know I have a group to come to for advice. It makes having a beardie a little bit easier.

I remember being totally out of my element with my first beardie, she was a rescue with medical issues to top it all off haha. You're doing great, don't worry, Khaleesi looks happy and healthy.
