It sounds like it's doing what it should be doing! Our little 2 foot yearling has decided he needs to flail around anytime I've got to move him for cleaning...on the other hand, our 6 footer is one of the most relaxed crocodilians I've ever been around. Just try not to stress it out, and like the other poster said, remember to your gator you're a potential predator! So, leave it alone and let him do his thing.
