i opened a bin this morning to find a strange site. this little guy is def a male i popped him myself. has any one else ever seen this behavior from males?

Might have gotten too warm. Might have just found a comfy spot. :confused:

My BP Jackson wraps around his bowl from time to time, it's never occurred to me to think this was unusual behavior. Does he do it often?

check ur temps and gradient...might be on the hot side...or he just likes is cool ;)

my bps rap too but they are west coast, I prefer east coast... holla!

Males get warm too!

Out of curiosity, how big is that tub?

it's a 12 qt. he's still pretty small. i did think that mabey he was warm but i double checked the temps and they are fine. and all the other's on that shelf were at the back of there tubs toward the heat.

What is your hot spot temp? Maybe he prefers it a little cooler.

Some of my boys will do it every now and again, and my temps really don't change. In my opinion I think my boys are just doing it to feel more secure since they don't have hides. I really don't have a clue though. I always check temps when I see them doing that since I worry about something going wrong.
