Mine does that when laying around, eating, and sleeping. Its just them relaxing and I wouldn't worry about it. If yours can't walk and drags its back legs thats a different story, and you should see a vet.

yup, same here, my tort, Ella, sleeps with her hind legs out and just rests like that. It's normal and I would worry a bit about it!
