The Puffer Forum

So I noticed sevenyearnight's photo and I started to wonder something. Do all GSP curl their tail to the right when sleeping? I've only ever seen mine curl up to the right, so I'm wondering if that's just a thing that GSP do.

Mine is to lazy to curl up when he sleeps, so I am not any help. My guy just finds his nook in the rock and lays there .... maybe leans up against the rock but never curls.

Does this mean he is not "comfortable" enough in his tank to really sleep well??

I'm pretty sure I've seen my GSP curled up on both sides but i believe he prefers the right since that's how he usually is.

I doubt it. I've rarely ever seen mine do this, but it's always been in the same direction. I've only been able to catch it twice on camera, once was just with a cell phone.

I voted on right, but Balki is napping right now and his tail is semi curled to the left.

LOL, funny topic!

My Abei usually curls to the right, fahaka doesnt curl

I kind of want to study my puffer and document which way he turns, too. I'm curious to see if there's a dominant side like how we have dominant sides.

this one curls to the left
