Any time I spray MILES enclosure with water he climbs into his water dish and does this… What is he doing? It’s hilarious to watch but why is he doing it??? He does this both in his enclosure and when outside in his water dish..(Warning.. sound attached and kinda loud)

When it rains in the wild, they find themselves in pools of rainwater naturally. You are making it rain, they find a pool.

Miles likes to soak in the mornings.. Look at him all relaxed with one leg out!

I believe the water stimulates him to swim, it is a swimming activity from when it rained and pools filled up in the wild. They swam.

Lol too cute. Nice to see he really enjoys the water. Mine usually does the hoochie koochie which is wiggle back end side to side or just stands up tall.
Not sure what yours is doing but he really is enjoying it.
Are you Matildaʻs owner? I think her little twerking video was posted somewhere
