Reptile & Amphibian Forums

A cursory search of the forums didn't show me anything, so I'm asking. When I feed Rorschach, she does this bizarre little twist and crunch to either side between bugs - it's like she's packing them down to make room for more. Is this normal?

i am going to say yes because mine do it too and the chances of me having 8 freakish lizards is too high, then again this is me, ha ha

They dance, the twist, figured maybe they could be of some help in the kitchen, hehehehee !

I think this is a pretty natural behavior, maybe aids in digestion of the insects. I like the snake tail thing they do, the wiggling of the tail like they are a cat. Always looks COOL !

Yep, I've seen it. I think it help them swollow the food down.

Well, that's a relief. It didn't seem to hurt, so I was hoping it was normal. She's shedding now and looks rather cranky about it.
