: 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

Cirsis does this if I tickle her on her rear legs.She'll slap at me like,"that tickles or if I'm rubbing her ears and she doesn't want me to,she'll slap with her rear foot.She also was wiggling her tail today while laying in the sunshine.She has done this often but jst thought it was one of her silly habits.
