Hello, I'm curious to know if anyone has an idea why my Spanish ribbed newt sometimes adopts a strange stance with its legs? It will curl its front legs up so that the feet are beside its head, and remain in this position for 10 to 15 minutes. Kind of looks like the position the male adopts when mating, but not sure of its sex yet, but maybe that could be an explanation. I will attach a photo I took of the behavior as an example. I'm not too worried about it, just curious as to what it means!
