hello,

I went to check on my beardie and he is sleeping standing up holding part of the rock leaning against the glass... Is this normal? Should I move him ?

Perfectly normal. Don't move him, he's fine. They sleep in the strangest positions.

hahaha yea they do fall asleep in the funniest positions!! he's fine, you do have hides for him to go to correct?
I've found Izzy standing up in the corner half in her water top half in the corner of the glass :) I moved her as I was afraid she would fall into the water as hard as they sleep..

Haha I have one around the same age as yours it seems. They are just such heavy sleepers. They will get tired and just fall asleep everywhere. So cute!

I remember when Dexter was small, as soon as the light went out her eyes closed and she was down for the count. It was if her eyes were attached to the light timers!
