I noticed last night that my adult leo was lickingcleaning his butt. Well, today I caught him doing it 2 different times, once right before crapping and then again about 15 minutes after dropping a heater. Is this a sign of anything or is he just in a clean mood?

licking the "vent" is normal behavior, it is self cleaning

First off ROFL (roll on floor laughing). Secondly I wish you would've snapped a photo. I didn't know gecko's were that flexible.
I need to catch mine when she does it.

Yeah, it's neat to watch. He lifts his tail up high and angles his vent a little. Here's a pic I took of him shedding but it's similar to how he is positioned when he does his cleaning.
