WhoWeR Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 That's right, from what I know. Usually you will only see the head and the tip of the tail sticking out. Maybe once it's feeling a bit more comfortable and safe, it may come out once in a while and have a swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
