I haven't had my geckos for very long so i haven't had much of a chance to watch them eat (they usually eat while i'm asleep or at school.). But they didn't have much to eat this evening and i just put 5 or 6 crickets in and i saw one of my gecks stalk it. So as he's coming toward it his tail starts to wave back and forth, and the closer it gets it starts twitching and vibrating back and forth really fast, kinda like a rattle snake, and it stopped when he gobbled up the cricket. this amused me, do all geckos do this?

Proud owner and operator of a Powerbook G4! Why use windows, when I can use Panther? It even sounds better.

Yep, sounds just like my gecko. Only seems to do it with the bigger food items, or when they crawl into a corner.
