Male tail wagging.

I recently introduced my male to 2 females. I've breed before but this is a new male. I haven't really seen any interest from the male thus far but I believe one of the females starting to ovulate from being in with male. The male I have seen does a real quick tail wag quite often. I can hear it from my computer desk. Is this irritation by the male or interest.

The tail wag is an identification behavior for leos. The male rattles his tail, if the other gecko doesnt rattle back it is identified as female and he will then pursue breeding behavior. It's a sign of interest.

It means he wants to get some gecko lurve :D

My youngest male does it sometimes in his coconut hide even though there arent any females with him and it makes a right racket hehe.

Its a sign of interest. My male Afghanicus is beside our female Afghanicus and everytime he sees her his tail is steady going, my wife has dubbed him "Thumper"
