Geckos, especially leopard geckos, are crepuscular, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. Being lethargic during the peak of the day can be normal, as they're often resting or brumating (a Reptilian form of dormancy similar to hibernation). However, prolonged lethargy, coupled with changes in appetite, weight loss, difficulty shedding, or abnormal droppings, could indicate an underlying health issue. Ensure their enclosure has appropriate temperature, humidity, and UVB lighting. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance if you have concerns about their husbandry or health.
