Odd baby behavior?

About a month and a half ago we hatched a perfectly healthy baby leo. She has had no health problems and has been absolutely perfect form day one. With that said, we noticed her exhibiting some odd behavior today. she's walking in circles and every now and then and she seems to be tilting her head to the side. She's not doing it all the time. She's still walking in straight lines and climbing fine, but every few minutes or so she's just busts out in this weird behavior. What could be the cause of this? Ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks much! :)

P.s: She's not an enigma.

sounds like an enigma :) could we see a pic of her? usualy these are typical of enigmas, and that gene may have snuck in there - no offence, i hope, i kow you said she is not, but i gotta see her :)
what other odd behaviour does she display, and does she do these things durring any stress ( i e bright light, excitement ( over feeding, befor pooping), other geckos, noise, handleing) is she alone in her tank?

There's the link to her picture. The mother is a blizzard and the father is a Tremper albino. And no offense taken about it maybe slipping in there. If that is the case and the parents carry the gene without us knowing, then that's something I would like to be aware of, ya know? lol....

And I'm not sure if she does it at certain times. She just started doing it a few days ago. and she does it really bad when you touch her. It's weird. and this is the only odd behavior we've noticed.

And if this is caused by the enigma gene, is it normal for such traits to manifest later? I was under the assumption that that was something that was apparent at birth? (That may sound kind of stupid, but we have never dealt with enigmas. lol)

And she's not alone in her tank. He clutchmate is in there with her for the time being. They are about to be separated though as soon as we get out and have more room for gecko containment units. lmao

Just a thought, would it have to be an enigma? I meen, isn't it possible for any living thing to have problems?
This behaviour and enigmas go hand in hand, but surely it's possible for a random occurrence?

As far as I'm concerned anything is possible & I'm opened to all suggestions. Does it HAVE to be the enigma gene? No, but it can never hurt to look into all posibilities.
