Newt does Yoga! Or maybe unken reflex?

[noodlenoo]

So this morning I saw my newt eft crawl out of his hide and literally raise up off his front legs and do an "Upward Facing Newt" pose! Then I realized that maybe he was performing the unken reflex, though I'd have no idea what startled him. I was only passing by the tank and happened to notice this.

Has anyone else seen their newt do this? Anyways, though I'd share since it looked so neat :happy:

I have seen one of my c orientals do this when feeding from tweezers. He was really excited for some blood worms that day

he must have thought you looked peckish

I agree with the others. Probably got excited for food once it noticed you!
