Tail waving around?

[Rosalie Spot]

today has been a busy day for Rosalie, my baby leo. She's gotten alot of contact with me, because i've been soaking her and trying to get her unshedded skin off. But now she's been walking around slowly, like she's unsure of her cage, and waving her tail around slowly, up in the air.

She never used to do this, but i've only had her for 2 months. Why does she do this -- now, i mean? Because she used to not do it. And even if someone's not by her cage she does it. What does it mean?

Probably that she is in "defense mode" and is about to strike at anything that frightens/annoys her.

 

[Rosalie Spot]

why do you think? Is it because she hasnt been left alone alot today? Is it just a mood, like how humans have moods?

 

[LIZARDLOVER]

Could be. If you were handling her a lot she is probably irratated. Geckos of that size/age are very finicky.

Oh, alright. But it was for her own good. She needs to get that shedded skin off her.
