Is this normal behavior?

Hi, I just made an account to post this so I'm new to the forums, please bare with me. I have a juvenile leopard gecko, Cinnamon, who I've had for only a little over a month now. She is my first reptile. Lately she has been sitting in one corner of her tank (I have her in a 10 gallon but will be moving her to a bigger space within the next month since she is growing much bigger) for long periods of time. She is eating vitamin dusted mealworms regularly, her heat mat is thermostat regulated to stay within 88 and 91-ish degrees f, and other than this she hasn't exhibited any other odd behavior. She did shed just a day or so ago but was doing this for about 2 days before that. I'll try and attach an image of her doing this. Is it normal? Should I be worried about this or does she just really like this spot in her enclosure?

It's normal for geckos to have a favorite place to sit. Nothing to worry about there.
However I would suggest feeding a larger variety of foods. Mealworms are not the best choice. Crickets and dubia make much better staples.
