It looks like it flipped over all on it's own. Is this some form of submission? Did it actually want a belly rub???? I want to believe it did. Haha. x3 I don't see how it would be a way to defend itself because the belly is a vulnerable place... Isn't it hard for lizards to breathe flipped on their backs?

It's my understanding that uromastix do this as a rejection behavior to spurn a male's advancements. So it did flip over on it's own but that is not necessarily a "cute" thing. More likely it was stressed and hoping the person would leave it alone.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
