Not once but twice over the last two days I have checked on my females and found one looking not right. Yesterday it was a rainbow Boa full on upside down including her head. Opened the door nothing, opened the hide nothing, touched her and blink - flip - "what, why are you looking at me, I was just getting comfy"

Tonight I had a breeder friend over and was showing off my gravid BCI's and again one was on her side, not totally but was not looking good. We both commented this was not good and both thought she was gone. Again I opened the cage - nothing, touched her and flip - "what you looking at?"

I'm just hoping third time is not the charm!!

Dude, I don'tind this to be uncommon! Here in Indiana at this time of year we have sudden air pressure changes and they just have a difficult time being comfortable...not to mention all the solar storm/micro-quakes this year

Yeah, I know it happens often, have seen it many times and still catches me until I know they're OK.

More often they are just laying on their side but the female BRB 100% on her back really had me thinking she had "gone belly up" and not in a good way!

I think they are trying to warm the babies on all angles and not just from the belly. It is scary when you walk in on it, but after you see them doing this enough times it's rather funny.

Only funny once your heart starts beating again

Really wish I had taken pics but that was the last thing on my mind..

Hi Dave ... As we both know this is no more than a simple case of dyslexia ... you just know these things when you get my age.
