I have a leopard gecko and it stays in it's hide box pretty much all day. While I am gone it sometimes buries its self in the peat moss. What is it doing. I has no other leopard geckos in the cage.

I have raise leapord geckos and that behavior is very normal. just make sure that the light is on one end and the cave is at the other so he feels safer during the day and use a black light at night so that you can still see them but they will still feel safe enough to come out.

I know that geckos like to hide. Maybe it's trying cool it's self off or something. It might just like the way the peat moss feels on its skin.

Geckos are a NOCTURNAL (night) reptile. It will hide during the day and will use whatever is handy to get away from the light, hide box, peat moss or even under the paper liner if you use one.

don't know anything about geckos but we had a turtle that did that several weeks out if the year and the vet told us it was hibernating.

They are nocturnal. That means that they only come out at night.
