leo tail wiggle

[TeaNinja]

when my leo is hunting crickets, i've noticed he starts WIGGLING his tail tip like crazy when he gets excited, then he'll LUNGE for the cricket lol.

do they all tail wiggle when they get excited?

YES. I absolutely LOVE to watch mine do this. I've even got a vid! He was actually a baby when I recorded this, he's grown ALOT since then.

Here's my little Ryu stalking a cricket excitedly:

They are such funny little hunters...and always seem so proud of their kills. I think they are great show offs. Though I have NEVER seen the tail wiggle! That is wonderful.

It was actually an accident, my recording it. I was just getting footage of him hunting an then he started wiggling his tail. No idea they did that until then.

I think I do see the show off thing, mine always seems to strut around proudly after eating. Then he goes an takes a little nap.~

A lot of geckos do the tail thing, very cute to watch them stalk their prey like a cat.

LOL, i just turned on my light to do something, and i looked over at the gecko tank and he was on top of the rock looking down at a cricket, and he started wiggling his tail like CRAZY then he LEPT off the rock after the cricket, but i think he missed lol.
