    Mine like to go completely upright, or as close as they can get. Sometimes they end up looking like the leaning tower of pisa. None have ever doubled over like yours though.

    One of mine did that tonight. I'm pretty sure it was by accident. He struck the rat right above his water bowl and landed in the bowl. He eventually pulled it out and finished it off. I'm pretty sure his head was underwater for a couple minutes though. I was cracking up. lol

    both of our new, young BP's have done this in the last week. we all kind of stared and wondered if there was something wrong but each went right back to regular behavior after getting their meal all the way down.

    I'm fairly sure mine does it on purpose, she has done this about 40-45% of the time. the worst part was one time she decided to blow bubbles as well.
