the reason they do that when you mist them is to get the most amount of water on their bodies. It hardly rains where they are from so water is cherished. They will tilt there heards down and raise their bodies to channel the water to their mouths. Its a very cool thing to watch. They also flatten out to look bigger and more intimidating to a potential threat.



peace,
