Hi Sarah,
Most of the time they do this for mating, courtship or territorial
behaviors, maybe she sees herself in a reflection. Maybe she likes you
or doesn't like you! Sometimes tail waving is involved in hunting,
usually that is tail rattling (also for courtship, the males do this)
though.

Hi all,
I just have a quick question. I've noticed that my leopard gecko waves her
tail every now and them. She lifts it up high and then moves it back and
forth in a very hypnotic sort of motion. I have seen her do this before,
but I thought it was because she was startled and trying to distract me. I
peeked my head around the corner the other night to see if she was out and
about and there she was in the middle of her terrarium in the dark empty
room waving her tail. Could anyone explain what that behaviour means?
Thanks so much,
Sarah
