Cletus sleeping high quality pic right here !

Sunken

Their eyes do sink in a little bit when they sleep but not very much. Just make sure he is getting a good amount of water everyday. :) beautiful boy
 
He looks wrinkly like he fell asleep on his face then repositioned and the print was still there. He is so cute! I love sleeping pics!

My female Nosy Be's eyes go almost flat when she sleeps. When she's awake they are almost ready to pop out of her head. I think eyes alone are a poor indicator of hydration while a cham is sleeping. My males eyes are always popped out.
 
ok people who think my cham is dehydrated. go into the other thread and look what i wrote in the thread its in Why So Pricy.... My cham is getting more water then he should he has a mist king system that goes off 5 times a day for three mins. and his dripper is ALAWAYS dripping. I have 6 gallons of water sitting by the cage waiting for the dripper of the misting system to run low " which i check every day " trust me he is getting water every day no matter what ! :mad:
 
Checking eyes while awake can show an indication of dehydration better than while sleeping but I think the best way to tell if your Cham is dehydrated is to 'pinch' a bit of their skin in the hind quarter and observe the 'tent' and how long it takes to re-flatten. That is a better indicator of water needs.

Your guy looks nice and peaceful! He's adorable and clearly not dehydrated! :)
