: Hello!

: For about a month now, I've heard noises from Tarzan's cage, but never caught him doing what made these noises. When he was on his tub one day, I glanced over at him and noticed what seemed like he whipped his tail at the water and then dashed out.

: I hear this while he's basking, or wherever he is in his cage. IT seems almost as if he whips his tail at a pillow or wall and then gets frightened by it. I want to observe this some more, but I never seem to catch him doing this in time.

: It has me a bit concerned, because I don't know what it is. Could this just be a quark that he has, or is it a signal of a possibly more serious underlying problem?

: Thanks in advance!

: -Lesya

Maybe that's his way of "playing" :). Mine whips his tail when he's trying to catch his balance -- if I pick him up or he is on my shoulder or something like that. He occasionally whips it in water, too.

Like the other poster said -- if he's active and everything else is okay, I wouldn't be overly concerned.
