Tails?

Why do chams curl up there tail?

I dunno really! It is soooo cute though, especially a tightly curled sleeping cham's tail, lol! Maybe it has something to do with tucking it in so predators can't grab it. Other than that I haven't got a clue!

When they get angry/scared it's to make them look bigger. Like an extension of their already puffed up and flat body.

Hmm its very cool ive always wondered why i know if i had a tail i would curl it up all the time.

 

[awh53]

to stop them tripping over them

with it being a prehensile tail it probably automatically rolls up

 

[Pumpkinface]

they do it to make themselves 43% more awesome!

Agrees with pumpkinface.

Pumpkinface got it right

Aside from the awesomeness factor, though, I suspect that it is to make them more compact at night--so less likely to be accidentally discovered.
My chams don't roll their tails up until they're ready for bed .
