: Carla,

: Here's something that might make you feel better...my juvenile sulcata sleeps like Buddah...he stretches his back legs out until they look like two pieces of cooked elbow macaroni..then spreads his front legs all the way over and his head comes usually all the way out to lay on the ground or nestle on top of the substrate. Sometimes he sleeps with his head flush to the edge of his carapace opening, but not usually...and never sleeps with it all the way in.

:: If he's all stretched out it probably means he's pretty comfortable in his environment. I don't soak mine as often as you do, about 3 times a week but I know many people do it more frequently. I put some pieces of cardboard against the wall of the tank recently as well as flat rocks and she likes to sit behind them and peek out at me. Cozmo, my leopard, is much more shy than my CDT's and seems to like the comfort of hiding places. She also only really like me as I am her caregiver. In fact when someoone was watching her eat the other day she looked up and then split into her cave! They are such sweet creatures Good luck-Rachel :o)
