Tail wagging?

[Phantom_Angel]

This may seem like a funny question, but as anyone ever seen their tegu wag their tail? I was sitting with my tegu, Tonka, this morning just petting him and he was on a heating pad all relaxed. And I noticed that he sort of wagged just the tip of his tail back and forth very slowly. Kind of like my cat does when she is half asleep and (I suspect) contemplating something devious. I suppose it could have been just a lil quirk, but I wanted to know if anyone else had ever witnessed such a behavior.

They normally do that when they're angry. Not the thing you want to see when he's 4ft long and facing you! :mrgreen:

Yea my blues do it a lot when I am in their space but I refuse to let them win and wear my scars proudly hahaha

Never seen any of my tegu's wag their tails for any other reason than warning me there could be blood loss ( mine)

I've rarely seen any tail wagging. A couple of the Blue hatchlings have done it.

Never seen my tegu do it, but my snakes do it when they get angry. It is definitely a sign of aggression.
