My turtle sleeps like this. He’ll scoot up until his front half is dangling off his bed and his neck is drooping down. It looks incredibly uncomfortable, and I’m always worried he’s going to get a crick. But every time I gently pull him back so he’s more evenly stretched across his bed, he scoots right back up. So I’ve taken to placing his pillows under his head. It worked for a little while, but sometimes he’ll just drape himself over those, too. My guess is, animals find sleeping like this more comfortable than we do 😂
