Default Introducing animals: at day or night?

When you introduce new animals to a group or put together two animals for breeding etc, do you move the animals during the day or the night (activity-period)? Im leaning a bit towards introducing them during the day, so that the stress level for the moved animal is lowered somewhat before it is confronted by the inhabitant(s).

I move uroplatus around during nighttime, as they are already awake and exploring the viv. Then it seems like they need a few weeks to find their "own" hidding place during the day in the viv.

I prefer to let a sleeping Uroplatus lie. Moving at night is the most advisable.

Cheers!
