My Reptile’s Weirdest Habit: The Quirks & Confusion Thread 
After all the serious discussions about UVI meters and hormonal cycles, let’s lighten the mood and celebrate the strange, hilarious, and sometimes confusing things our pets do! Every keeper knows that reptiles, despite their calm exterior, are absolute weirdos.
This is the place to confess all the strange habits, odd routines, and completely baffling behaviors that make you shake your head and love them even more.
