my jacky keeps trying to sleep on the ceiling :|

[contos]

i was just watching my jackys and one climbed onto the mesh ceiling
i came back to find him asleep :| i pulled him off and he was half asleep
put him near a hide and he climbed back up and fell asleep again
is this normal/ok?

My beardies love to sleep of the ground
Jackys being arboreal can be the same
Do they ever use their hides?

yeh i can understand them sleeping on a branch or something but this guys completely upside down
im worried he might stack it during the night and crack himself or something :\
and nah i havent seen them use their hides yet

 

[GeckoJosh]

yeah mine as hatchys used to sleep either vertical or almost upside down on a vine as thick as a shoelace
They might fall but if they do its how they learn

ahhh k thanks

many dragon species findthat being laid on their back or in your case hanging on by their legs but laying upside down in a horizontal position, they find it very calming, and appear to be asleep. By memory, and dont quote me on it but i believe the lake eyer dragons are one type. My netteds will also do it for short periods if you hold them on thier backs in a horizontal position. Im sure others will have a better explanation, but its a start.
