A basking on top of each other question..

[LJean]

I was curious how we know that laying on top of each other on the basking spot is a dominant behavior. I tried a google search and didn't find the info.

Also curious, for those with multiple dragons in an enclosure:
If you have multiple basking spots, do they still pile on top of each other?

The questions are for my own curiousity only.

It's not really laying on top of each other in basking it's more of a in general dominance. Think about all forms pretty much even people, if I'm bigger than you and laying on top of you while you are trying to relax, honestly how would you feel?

It's all the same, when you play king of the hill you want the top spot, and you will sit on people to show them who's boss. Usually multiple basking spots is better but dragons will want the best one and they will know which is the best one even if you don't.

I was thinking it was something similar to when children fight over who gets the window seat in the car. I had to laugh about the

Because I was wondering how we would know which is the best spot.
Thanks for replying.

Lightning and LIttle bit always are on top of each other. They switch around a lot. They seem 2 like it.
