: : When he bask under the heat lamp he kinda spreads himself out, i guess being used to box turtles who can close themselfs up

: : I dunno it looks weird when he does it kinda like goin out and laying in the yard and stretching your arms and legs out to make a X looks awfull funny

: : is this natural

:
: Chad,
: mine do that both big and small.
: In the morning when they first come out they find a nice sunny spot in the yard and sunbathe.
: They stretch their legs out behind and infront.
: The largest sulcata will sleep with her head lying on one of her front legs, very cute.
: Sometimes they lift the front legs up in the air too.
: As long as you have a heat gradient and the little tort can move into a cooler area I wouldn't worry.
: Just one of the cute things sulcatas do, enjoy!
