Biting Own Tail

[Kmay571]

So my girl is about to shed (like in The next hour) and she is doing something I've never seen her do before. She's hanging out in her humid hide and she is biting her tail and "twitch moving". I don't know how else to describe it, so I took a video. I just want to know if that's normal or not. I've watched her and my other gecko shed and I've never seen anything like this.

She is most likely just removing some shed from her tail. Kind of hard to see through the plastic container in that video though. I would just keep an eye on it.

She shed completely and I noticed her biting her tail again. She's biting the base of it, but there was no shed stuck there. There doesn't seem to be any irritated skin or wound from her biting it. It almost looks like how a dog itches itself by nibbling.
