    Strange behaviour?

    Hello everyone,

    I just noticed my little bp keeping his upper body up, just like a cobra in it's defensive position, for about 10 minutes. He didn't have his tongue out whilest "standing" there like that
    Does anyone know why he's doing that? I never saw him doing that before although he's out a lot ^^

    Maybe he's just hungry and checks his environment?

    Sorry for not posting a photo but the tube's doors are too dirty and if I opened it he'd immediately stop

    Like this? I started called periscoping. Just them being curious. My female stared at a wall three inches away from her face for five minutes straight lol

    Mine does this and is just a curious little guy. I don't see it as defensive at all, just curious. He's more active than most BPs from what I've gathered (although he's my first). I like when he does it bc it tells me he is comfortable.

    Mine likes to do that some nights and watch the television. He seems to be a fan of Criminal Minds.

    Maybe he was admiring some wall art in the room like my Donuts was the other day



    They typically yawn when they're periscoping, from my experience.
