Tail wagging??? Not when breeding

alpharoyals Jul 16, 2007 05:02 PM

I have searched the old posts and the only tail wagging I have found has been when breeding, I have a little 06 hatchling and she always seems to need to be touching the side of the hide or the tub and if nothing is there she will keep on waving her tail from side to side till she reaches something.

Has anyone ever witnessed this before?

I've noticed that on some of my balls before they strike or when they are 'hunting'

I have 1 snake that wags its tail while hunting, just b4 it strikes.

It's pretty comical to watch him. He looks just like a pi$$ed off cat whipping his tail back & forth, lol.
