I was wondering why playing dead is useful for Cory in the wild. Tarantulas only eat live food.
I haven't colored it in, but hope you enjoy it still.

Do collareds play dead ???
I think that in face of a tarentulla, collared would rather run away as fast as possible !
No offenses to your drawing that is terribly realistic !

for a little while. Annabella was great at it she stiffened up, turned almost black, so her white belly scales looked in disrepair. I was concerned she was sick, but she learned I couldn't be fooled so easily and went back to normal in minutes. Cory and Annabella quit when they became pets.
The big, male collared lizard I caught in the wild played dead when he figured he couldn't bite me. I set him on a rock and my husband wanted to hold him and picked up the lizard while he was still playing dead. I think the lizard might have learned playing doesn't work around us humans.

Its suffocating. When lizards get put on their backs, their ribs squeeze in causing them to suffocate. Ii looks cool now, but the lizard is actually dying and fighting for air.
Just to let you know that that isn't playing dead.
