I gotta say, when I read the subject of this post, I couldn't help but laugh. In fact, I can't stop laughing. When mine is out and about, cruising at night, he will see me and pause for 5 seconds before moving along. Half the time, I will look in his cage in the early evening and he's got his head propped up in the opening in his hide. I can't tell if he's awake or sleeping. They can't be very intelligent, because if they were, I'm sure they'd go crazy with how much they just sit there or sleep.

The other day (Btw, this happens often), he was cruising around and came to his water bowl, tongued it, seemed surprised it was water, drank for 30 seconds and started cruising again. The next two times that he got back to his water bowl on his route, he did the same thing! So surprised that there was water there! Amazing creatures.....
