I have a new leopard tortoise (Max), two weeks now, and he seems to be sleeping quite a bit. He is in a tortoise table with a cool side that is around 75 F and a warm side in the 80's with a basking rock that runs in the mid 90's. His schedule is pretty much:

Wake at 7:00am - bath
7:15 - 10:00am bask, graze, repeat with short cat naps
10:00am - 1:00pm walk around enclosure, nibble, bask repeat
1:00pm climb into his humid hide and sleep until morning

He was going to bed around 4pm earlier in the week and then it went to 2pm and now the last two days it's been 1pm. Nothing has really changed in his enclosure and he seems to be eating fine and getting a good amount of exercise.

Thanks in advance

I forgot to mention he is 10 months old not sure if that still counts as a baby? Thanks for the feedback
