Most of the time, I'd say 95%, when I go to pick up Gene, I have to move his hide or the branch in his tank to get to him. He seems to enjoy curling around the branch on the cool side and sitting there for..hours. Sometimes he gets so still I'll ask myself if he's still breathing. I almost prefer picking him up when he's asleep, especially when I steal him out of his hide, because he's so toasty warm .
