Also, it's hard to tell from this pic but her front feet were NOT touching the log at all. I thought for a minute she was going to fall backwards.

Is this normal? This is the first time I have seen Petunia do this. She was standing straight up and rocking back and forth a tiny bit. She stayed like that for a few minutes until I reached into her tank and then she hopped down off her log. Please help...this had me worried.

Hey Emily - I am in the Lynchburg area. Lots of the people in my area arent due to get power back until Saturday night. We were very fortunate that ours came back last night. Glad you made out ok your way. Crazy wicked storm for sure!

Hi all - It's me...Petunia's mom. We had a super bad storm hit VA on Friday night and we lost power and just got it back tonite. (was supposed to be as long as this Saturday). Anyway.....I was sooo worred about Petunia becuase I only had her about a week and a half when this happened. I...

Thanks for a the "awwww" everyone. I think she is adorable too. That's a big NO to the sand substrate question. Her log (from Petmountain) was not tall enough to get proper temps for basking so I put her hide which is a stoney looking cave underneath one part of the log to raise the log. I...

I got up in the middle of the night to check on her. She was still clung to the top of the tree trunk lol. All was well this morning, she was basking on her log!!!!!

I have 2 ceramic palm trees in Petunia's tank that are about 12 inches tall. Petunia had climbed to the top of the trunk and is sleeping vertically. I moved her to her hide as it's "lights out" time for the night. She went right back up the tree trunk. Can she actually sleep vertically like...
