Male Lying Inverted?

I just witnessed my male lesser laying inverted under his hide. This is the first time I have ever seen this. Does it mean anything? It's been an eventful week for him. I just paired him for the first time on Saturday. I didn't witness any locks. I pulled him out last night and he ate a small rat. I also noticed his belly just turned pink so he is getting ready for a shed (he's overdue). I had planned to give him three days off and pair him back again but should I wait till shed is over? Also, if anyone know what the inverted thing means, if anything, it's appreciated.

Regards,

The inverted might mean he's trying to cool his belly, what are the temps he's in?

I don't pair males that have started their shed cycle because most of the time they just curl up and ignore the females.

Temps are the first thing I thought of. Hottest spot was 88. I'll hold off pairing until he sheds.

Hi,

I think it is related to granpa undoing the buttons on his trousers and lying oddly in the chair after a heavy Xmas dinner.

Sometimes, they also just sleep funny. :)

I have a male that often lays inverted. He's just "special!" That's how he sleeps. If I disturb him when he's laid down like that he goes all crazy and tries to eat me, but if he's not like that I know it's safe to put my hand in his tub.
