Is this a normal thing for a DT to do?

My DT sleeps like this a lot. Is this normal?

Why not?

My star tortoise is sleeping like that right now . She usually does it under the heat lamp so I suspect she likes to soak up some heat like that.

I've only had a tortoise 6 months, so I don't know if this is a normal thing to do, but mine does it all the time.

Not just desert tortoises, but almost every tortoise that I've ever come into contact with. It's a normal tortoise sleeping position. They usually have one front leg stretched out in front and the opposing back leg stretched out behind.

Only when they are comfortable and totally at ease.

Yep, my DT will sleep like that and "lounge" under the UV light like that to catch some extra rays.

My Red Foot sleeps like that, from time to time. Just a comfortable position for them, I suppose!

My DT has been sleeping like that for 2 1/2 months straight.
It is fine.

Has he been brumating or just sleeping?

It's a very normal, relaxed sleeping position.
