Where does your Bluey sleep?
I have been having some concerns in regards to my newest bluey...he seems to sleep at night out "in the open" in his cage, most often not seeking cover under the aspen or any of the hides.
Does anyone else have a bluey that just seems very "secure" in his/her cage and sleeps anywhere they happen to get tired and fall asleep?

yeah, A couple of my blueys sleep where they want.
Sometimes it's in the open - sometimes it's under cover. You skink could feel pretty safe where it is. either that or it's too lazy to dig.

yeah shingles are soo lazy mine hardley never sumerge them selves (especiley eddy) lilly just never wants to go back in her tank
even in the wild iv seen shingles trying to hide in a bush with half there body out and thinking there hiding not knowing we can see them. one time when i camped in the grampians the shingles were sleeping in our cabin because it was warm there just soo placid i would pick them up and they wouldnt even hiss:D

it's like little kids - they close their eyes and they think they're invisible cuz they can't see anyone - so they figure other people can't see them.

Ocho has taken to sleeping out in the open at night next to not on his basking rock just lays there does not even cover himself but when he sleeps during the day he goes into his log so seems normal to me. Sue

Lately i've noticed Fritz sleeping out in the open next to the water whereas The Eastern female without the foot is always tucked away under cover in the corner.

I had a scare once,I looked in on Blue after lights out and he was a kip with his head in the water bowl(so I assumed),I thought he'd drowned so I took the door off and found he was sleeping with his nose on one side and neck and body on the other, "like a bridge over troubled water" que music. He has done this since but I dont panic about it anymore, siiiilllllly boy.
MMMmmmmm... Something???????
