Caudal luring

Hey mate, I have a couple of olives, My larger older one likes to occasionally hypnotise you with its tail before it gives a friendly love tap every now and again. I had her on the bed this morning and my girlfriend gave her a little tickle around the mid section and did a similiar move on her, she doesn't know weather it struck at her or not, she saw a rapid movement of her tail and her haed coming at her, I heard a shriek, olive on the bed, half naked gir;friend on the floor!!
I recently spoke with someone who is rather knowledgeable with herps and he said that he hadn't heard of olives doing this before. I recently got another olive and it also displays similar behaviour but does not bite, only strikes. Hopefully he stays the same throughout adulthood!! Hope this is something similar to what you were talking about or I just made a d*?k of myself, Im sure this is what my mate called this same behaviour?
