Before we moved to Arkansas, @provider once captured one for me. When I came over and picked it up, it went limp and played dead too. I asked him what he had done to it, just to mess with him a little. Then, I tried to lay it down on its belly... right side up. It quickly rolled onto its back... upside down. Every time that I would flip it the right way to make it look alive, it would flip itself back upside down to pretend to be dead. It was very persistent.
