"This is the 4th time that I've observed this behavior now, I believe.
"She will wrap her tail somewhat tight around a narrow branch while the misting system is going off, allowing water to pool, and then will curl back to drink from that pooled water, before it all drains down the branch."Last edited by Elizabeth Freer; 07-02-2018 at 04:08 PM.
