I acquired a pair of WC sikorae on the weekend so I thought I would share some bad pictures...

Nope.....it's a pietschmanni. :nana:

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?

It also looks like their sleeping behavior, when they are curled around a branch

Yeah, you rarely see the pietschnammi in a head down legs back sleeping position. They're usually curled around a branch or in a heads up position on the corkbark. They like to curl their tails around so the tail is close to their head. It's always a kicker when they're fast asleep and they slowly slide off a branch or plant ending up hanging by one foot.:rofl:

The female sikorae is a eating well. She downed close to ten medium sized crickets last night. The male was eating and pooping well the night before but seemed put off by a new plant I put in the enclosure last night.
Once they're settled in I'll try to get some better pictures as the female has some real cool colors on her back. Almost like some phants I've seen on this site.
