It's pretty normal for them to sleep a lot but not all the whole day . Do you think he is sick? Do you take him outside? What is he eating?

Hi yes he goes out side for a bout an hour and a haif in the day and he's qiet active but as soon as I take him back to he's box he goes back to the back off the box he eats hay daneliens some times sweet mix salad

What temperature is it in his enclosure? Sometimes inactivity can be an indication your temperatures are off.

It's 88.9 f I leave it on from 7.30am till 7.30pm

That's a little low for a basking temperature- is there a spot that is up around 95-100F? How do you provide night heat? How cold does it get overnight?

It stays a round 71.f at night I use a inferred 60 w light at night

71F is too cool at night for a hatchling leopard. Bump it up to 80F. This is a helpful guide http://www.tortoiseforum.org/index....ealthy-Sulcata-Or-Leopard,-Version-2.0.78361/

You wanted a 80 at night. No part of this enclosure should be less than 80. But he should be able to get out of the Heat during the day. So part of his enclosure should be 80 during the day.
