I've mentioned in some other threads/posts that ZaRDoZ has been exhibiting some different behavior in the last month or so by what I've been calling, "worshipping the plant god", assuming this position for a couple of hours every morning instead of his previous routine of climbing the mountain to warm-up bask before breakfast, i.e.
“Praise to you almighty plant god. Oh lord, oooh you are so big. So absolutely huge. Gosh, I’m really impressed down here I can tell you. Forgive me, O Lord, for this, my dreadful toad-ying and barefaced flattery. But you are so strong and, well, just so super. Fantastic. Amen. Gimme bugz!"

Different theories have been postulated as to why he's doing this/what it means.
Is it the location in the enclosure or the plant itself? He sure can't/doesn't warm up down on the enclosure floor...
Well, this past week, I had the opportunity to do some rearranging/remodeling of his "Big Brick Basking Mountain" (à la Big Rock Candy Mountain), and in the process, I moved the "plant god" to the opposite side of the enclosure. Since then, he's been doing this for those first couple hours every morning...
So I'm concluding at this point that it's got to be something about that plant (or planter). He doesn't eat or even nibble the plant (Echeveria Violet Queen)--just hangs out on/around it.
