hello, i can observate this as well, but only my strophurus ciliaris aberrans are doing that kind of daysleeping. but they have no problems at all. sometimes on of my females is just hanging with the back legs on the wood, and the complete body and frontlegs are hanging around the air. regards stefan www.reptilwelt.de _______________________________________________ Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkota.com Classifieds http://www.gekkota.com/cgi-gekkota/classifieds.cgi gecko mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gekkota.com/mailman/listinfo/gecko
