tail wiggling in olives. ??

[melissagalea2]

hi guys, i have been keeping reptiles on and off for over 10 years. in that time i have had lots of pythons.
and i have kept olives before. but these two olives that i have now tail wiggle when ever i am feeding them. one boy wiggles just a little, and the other boy thrashes his tail stupidly . i have read before in the past that some snakes do this. but does anyone else have there snakes tail wiggle over there food. are they excited.?
cheers

My olives do this as well, usually when they think they are getting fed. When I kept BHP's, they also did this.

My Woma pythons also do this

awesome. i had presumed it was something to do with food as they only did it at feeding time. quite comical to watch at times. thanks for the replies guys.

Some photos of my olives, taken today.

My 4 Olive Python's wiggle their tail all the time,when ever l approach them why their eating or just after they have finished feeding.

lt sure looks funny watching them wiggle their tail just like a Rattle Snake, but without the sound Rattles do when wiggling their tail.
