I've been home from work for last few days and monitored closely, usually pebbles wakes in the morning and heads straight for the basking spot, but last few days doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get up and do this.

Pebbles woke this morning and went straight to the basking slate so hopefully all good and just me being over worried 😟
