Well, Nightflight, at the risk of being outvoted I would suggest you're keeping him too warm. I would change the temp. regime to 80-82*F by day and down to as low as 70*F at night for awhile and see what happens. I guarantee he won't freeze to death. I think he has been too active and metabolizing too much. They do spend time just relaxing. I know some might disagree, so it's up to you. Good luck. Terry.

: I keep him at about 85 degrees, and he is otherwise very active. There are also enough hidespots in his enclosure, so he should be okay with that.
