Odd sleep time

[CHScrusader]

My Cham is about 3 months old. Today he had a rather large amount of food. I hand feed him crickets daily. He usually eats 9 or 10 and throughout the day I have a bowl in his cage with 2 small Phoenix worms and 2 mealworms. Well today, he had 16 crickets and on top of that he ate all 4 worms.. Then the bad thing.. My lil buddy usually goes to bed around 8-8:30.. Well I fed him at 9:30 ish when I woke up and then again before I left my house... I got back around 4 and I noticed he also ate the worms... I didn't give him any more.. But then after dinner it was around 5:15 ish.. I went up into my room and he was sleeping! I left him go... I didn't know what to do. He is in mid shed but I don't believe that has anything to do with it. He is not dehydrated. His poop is perfectly fine. This is the first day he did this. I will be watching him a little more throught the day. Thanks for any answers!

Well, your supplement schedule should be no D3 every feeding, with D3 twice a month, and multivitamin twice a month... other than that I really don't see any reason. Can we see some pics of him?

That's exactly what I do. Crap, I forgot to to mention I use the herptivite multi. Allow me to take pictures now.

I apologize if The quality is bad. Darker areas aren't good with my phones camera. I turned on his light to try to do the best I can. The position he is in limits me to my picture point of view.
