the other night i was watching skid in the cage and she was just standing there and her tail was slinking back and forth identically to how a snake moves. i tried to take a video but it was too dark. it was very strange/interesting and in all these years of having gliders, neither james nor i had ever seen a glider do this. the most was seeing them carry things in their tails, but this was very cool. anyone know what it means or have had/seen this before?

Oh yeah! Absolutely! It's the tail dance! My Bandit does it all the time! Gotta love it! Usually, he'll do it when he's either nervous or sees something brand new. It's like he's sneaking up on it. lol

well that was the first night that i put in their awesome new fringe vine! maybe that was it? haha sneaking up on it. that's funny. i had no idea they could control their tails like that

I bet that's what it was! Bandit will also do it if he's sneaking up on Teeka...then he'll pounce...lol

Yup! That's the snakey tail dance. SO funny to watch! Some of mine will just snake the very end of their tail, but others will snake it all the way from their bottoms with very pronounced movement.

Icelyn does it too but only if she knows I am trying to pick her up when she isn't in the mood to be held, LOL

Our newest joey, Jack, does it whenever he gets picked up to be put in a bonding pouch.. while crabbing his little head off the entire time. Hes such a stinker

haha awesome! well thanks guys, i was really interested in knowing what on earth she was doing!
