BGK Lies on Side in Hiding Place, This okay?

[dmed]

I keep my BGK at 72F and it's quite active, but it is acclimated to the temp. Mine also "rests" on its side like you described, but not actually lying on the substrate, just floating above it.

Mine loves to sleep on her side alot too.

yeah mine does all of the above. he also preffers to be side ways or upside down then anything else

My BGK sleeps upside down most of the time. It just means that they are relaxed.
I keep my temp higher - but that is just a personal choice.
Sounds like everything is fine.

mine always lays down in its plants during the day but comes out at night, its mostly because they are nocturnal and are used to hunting and being active during the night time.
