does this seem strange?

A couple of minutes ago I hut my geckos light off. Thjen I went to the bathroom and came back to put my pajama pants on. I put my light on and saw my gecko with its vent are up, in the middle of the cage not where it goes to the bathroom. I watched for a moment and saw my gecko open up the spot at the base off the tale and lick it several times. As of yeterday I diagnosed my gecko female. There are no males in the cage and it is in a 20 gallon long tank with 3 hides, one being humid of course and a vitamin dish and water. The heat stays at 85 during the day and drops to about 72 during the night. I have my gecko on paper towels too. Does this mean it is definitly female, 0 positive.

This is not a updated pic, but very new.(between a month or so from now)

No thats not strange at all. My geckos do it too. I can't remember off the top of my head why they do it but its like when a dog cleans itself.
