Sleeping?
« on: August 03, 2010, 10:34:51 AM »
When Hermes is sleeping it looks like he is dead, his head and his legs are all out. He looks relaxed but at the same time he kinda looks dead. Is this normal or should I worry?

Don't worry! It is totally normal.  This is a very good sign as it means he's comfortable enough with his new home to leave himself exposed while sleeping. I think it's a right of passage for all RT keepers to be scared to death the first time they see it. I know I sure was. :D
