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

    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?

    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.
