Swaying tail?

[ReptilesForTheWin]

What does my females tail swaying mean? It is not flickering it is a slow sway.

Pet stores in FL

Tell me of some good pet stores in FL you have been to. Kinda close to Orlando is the best.

The slow tail wave is a defensive posture. Sometimes they will do it if you startle them, or if they are annoyed.

definitely.
i would stay away whenever he/she does that, usually means they're ready for action!

Weird because I was in bed and I looked over and saw her doing that. Also the male wasn't even out he was in a hide.

I've seen them do it to their own reflection.

Mine's never swayed his tail before attacking *food.* He buzzes his tail, but the swaying's only when he's mad or startled. Once I was trying to scoot his hide back because the exit was blocked a bit and he kept shoving the roof off :laugh4: , but I accidentally tapped him on the head with my fingernail. He woke up and started snaking his tail around ... he looked quite terrifying, actually.

But yes, he does see reflections in the glass, and while I've never seen him challenge one he definitely stalks them sometimes.
