Why does he do this???

z3speed4me Jun 11, 2007 08:28 PM

my carpet is ALWAYS stretching out and looking at this one particular corner of the tank, i have no idea why he does it or what hes looking for, but everyday at least 3 times i will watch him stretch and sit there for a minute or two before he goes slithering around the tank again to find a comfortable spot...

any ideas why this behavior would occur?

Perhaps that is the most vulnerable corner of your tank. Make sure to check it to make sure it is secure.

Would it be the corner that you lift up? Perhaps he is associating that with it. Or perhaps he checks out the other corners, but not when you are watching him.
