My two leopard are now about 1 year old. They both are growing very good,active and eating well. What I am concerned about now is why one of them sleeps all day, and at night comes out to eat and walks around for awhile? They both would be out when the light came on. Now one sleeps all day and eats at night? This has been going on for about 3 days now.

Is it dark at night? What sort of night heat are you providing?

Been using the same type of lighting for about a year now. Using the Infrared Heat Lamp day and night. It`s the same way now, one is out eating the other is sleeping. Should I just wake him?

It's probably your infrared light that has his "schedule" all mixed up.

I would personally prefer a CHE or other heat source that won't emit any type of light during the night. That way the tortoise is on a more naturalish lighting schedule (active during the morning/and evening, sleeping at night). But, if the infrareds are your thing and both are eating and growing well, then do what you think is best.
