What did you do? Drug the thing?!

The one I used to have was fairly tame and it would NEVER sit that still.

I just have to hold him up with my fingers under his front arms and then lay his back on my palm.

When ever my mom sees him doing that she thinks he is dead...

Do you have any pics of the CWD normaly.

Thanks

Reptiles are missing a diaphragm, so breathing when upside down is at best extremely difficult, or most likely impossible. They only reason they don't suffocate in a few minutes is that they don't need to breathe as much as warm blooded animals do (lower oxygen demand), it's a bit of a safety margin, just long enough to right themselves again.
