Default New Adds and an Oddity
I acquired a pair of WC sikorae on the weekend so I thought I would share some bad pictures...

Nope.....it's a pietschmanni.

She stayed like that for over four hours while I performed spring cleaning on her enclosure. The other two corkbarks in the enclosure didn't pull this stunt. Is this typical behaviour for this species?

Yes, I've heard of the behavior, but never had a chance to see it for myself.

Great photos! That's the first time I've seen them curl up, thanks for sharing.
