Has anyone seen those silly little hand slaps?

When Dar is feeling particularily (sp?) crabby, and we walk into his enclosure to feed him, or pet him. or remove him, sometimes he'll slap backwards and upwards (towards his spikes) at our hands, sort of a SHOO, SHOO sort of gesture! It's very ineffective as a defense, and usually just makes us have to stifle our giggles. (We don't want him to know he looks silly!) I havn't heard anything about this little behavior on any forum, and like the tail wagging ( which I would love to see! LOL) I was wondering if this was normal! Thanks guys! :-D
