Sleeping during the day...

Hi!

Our year old nosy Faly has started going to his sleeping spot and sleeping about 4 hours before his lights go out. Other than the sleeping, he seems to be fine, even though he has decided to be fussy about crickets lately.

He Was moved into his large cage (24x24x48) about two months ago. He has two 50w for basking and one 26w for UV. Our breeder told us that these should be good. All of the bulbs are lined up across the back of the cage.

His "sleeping spot" is in a large ficus... It's quite dark where he goes. The room that his cage is in is not the best lit room, but it does have a large east facing window. Should I consider just moving the lights around in his cage so that there are no dark spots? Again, he seems alright besides this whole early bedtime issue, as he comes out during the day and basks and chases down his worms.

Thanks for your input!
 
When does it get dark outside? Often they will go to sleep and wake up with the sun regardless of what the lights on the cage do.
 
He would still be beating the sun as he's been heading for his sleeping place around 3:30 and the sun is staying up until almost 7 here. He is in a darker room, with an east facing window, so he doesn't get a lot of direct sun anyways.
 
Could be any number of things from him just being tired to illness. I would just keep an eye on him. Could you post pictures of him?
 
This is a picture of him from the other day.
