he came pretty much face to face with my female. He stood there and then his tail raised straight up and curled towards the front a bit, think scorpian. He then proceeded to wiggle the stubby little tip while waving his tail from side to side.
Im just curious as whether this is a mating thing, a threat display, something to do with dominance, or perhaps a defense mechanism so that a predator would go for the tail instead of the gecko?
I've seen this behaviour regularly. No idea what it means. Maybe Neil or some other more experienced keepers have an idea?
