What a great and informative video! Thank you so much for posting. I do have one question; I noticed at one point during the video it looked like Roni was posturing at you (he raised his belly off the ground and I saw a slight arching of his tail). Is that normal for him? Just curious, not critical. I remember when you posted on here more frequently, so i know what a good reptile keeper you are. Roni has turned out to be a truly magnificent iggy. Well done. :)

i will have to take a look . was it near the end . he really really loves his tail scratched , i rub with my fingers ,top and bottom . he pushes his tail up towards my finger as scratch it .

looking at back it , i think i was scratching his tail with my left hand just before that , thats the only time he raises it like that . he really loves that and arches right at my hand . He gets real a little nervous at times with the camera right in his face sometimes . so i was switching hands and rubbing his tail , when i do that he opens his eyes again and relaxes . Also it didn't t help that my lab was looking to him through the basement window either , but he's is slowly getting use to that . My Lab's got to be with me or watching me every second . no matter what room i am in he will lay by that window . He''s great dog and one of my best friends .home and in the field .
