I was on my pc and i look over at my uro tank, b/c he was amking a lto of noise, and i see him running around ontop of one of his rocks, in a circle. Over and over again, until i made a move towards him, and he stoped, and just looked at me. I don't think it's because the rock was too hot, b/c im watching him now, and he's since moved to a hotter location in the tank. (he moved from under a 100 watt bulb, to a 150 watt bulb.) So i don't think the rock was too hot for him. What do you guys think? He seems fine now.

was he dragging his butt or his back legs? they will mark their territory with that funny little dance. all my mature males do it well that is my two cents as to what he was doing.

I'm actually not too sure, he very well might have been. I was too confused on what was going on to notice that specifically. I almost tried to video tape it, but he stopped once i moved towards him.

Archie used to do that around his food dish. It was the funniest thing ever, 2 feet in and 2 feet out just running around in a circle.

My bet would also be on the territory marking.
