freaky feeding incident

[paintedlizards]

So I decided to feed everyone again tonight even tho I fed last night- Since NY was on the lam and missed feeding and then they all get crazy when the cricket tank comes out....

I feed in reverse from the doorway... starting with my biggest male and working my way to the door .... so with this system Scuttle Butt gets fed first. I fed him as usual today and fed my dragons their superworms and grabbed a few freshly shedded ones for new york to enjoy. I walked over to see if scuttle wanted one and before i even got the top off he started RUNNING around the tank ( 20 g) screaming. It was so loud! my gf came in from the bedroom down the hall because she heard it.

did i offend him? is something wrong? he was just so upset and panting once he stopped. I can pet him now and hes calming down...

thoughts?

I honestly don't know.. but one of our male geckos freaked out earlier just now when I was feeding them too. Weird, huh? He always climbs up the bin and wants to get out for a few minutes, so I took him out and set him on my lap while I finished feeding and changing water for the rest. Well, when it was time to put him back in, I put him on the floor of the bin and he instantly jumped back out of the bin and into my hands like he was afraid to go in there (it was kind of funny lol). I petted him a little bit and then tried putting him back in. He stayed this time, but he was waving his tail and in defense mode. Thought it was pretty weird, he was looking at the water bowl when he did it.
