hi everyone
i had my darwin carpet python out yesterday while i was watching tv. he was just sitting in my hand for afew minutes staying still. i noticed then that his tail was out infront of his face twitching and then started to wiggle. ive seen snakes caudal lure before, but this is the first time ive seen a darwin carpet do it.
has anyone elses seen their darwin carpets doing it?

And since snakes lack a middle finger... |

People say woma and others do it but all i have seen is excitement at feeding time. Yes, their tail wiggles excitedly but definitely differrent to a gtp or death adder trying to attract prey.
maybe some of the experienced members can shed some light. |

You'll also see them wriggle their tails when they're freaked out sometimes, but this is very different and obviously to detract attention from the other (more critical) end.
The gillen's monitors wriggle their tails sometimes, it's really odd and I haven't worked out why they do it.
