RE: Odd Behavior
My sulcata typically lays sprawled out whenever he's basking and relaxed (like laying in the sun). Otherwise he's usually tucked in somewhat whenever resting. I'm sure it's normal since they all seem to have their own personality!

RE: Odd Behavior
do they yawn? I saw percy do what looked like a yawn and it worried me because he ate a peice of a gum wrapper the other day.
But he is still eating and he hasn't done it again - so i take they yawn???

I agree, Chips sleeps like that when he's sunbathing. It caught me by suprise too the first time I witnessed it, it does look kinda gruesome lol.

RE: Odd Behavior
I thought we could share odd behavior whether we are worried about it or if we know it is normal.
Percy, my sulcata, sometimes sleeps all the way out his shell - like with his limbs sprawled and his head resting on the ground.
I freaked out the first time I saw this because I thought he was dead, now I just hope it isn't a sign that he isn't feeling well. Maybe he just feels really safe??
Dunno - I will try to post pictures.
I was the same way the first time I seen my sulcata sleeping like that. But he loves to sleep that way under his heat lamp for some reason. I'm guessing to get as much heat as possible when he lays under it.
But that would be neat if he does sleep like that because he feels safe. It makes me feel like I'm doing a really good job with him to make him that comfortable.
