My tortoise wags his tail?

[lilliacathleen]

My tortoise runs around his cage and wags his tail the entire time, what does that mean?

Haha mine does the same thing ....always wags his tail side to side as he walks around. I just assumed it was a natural reflex when walking

Cooper normally only wags his little stumpy tail when it time to poop.

Thanks, I was just wondering if it was normal or not

Haha, hilarious isn't it?! My Russian does this, and many times he releases stool.....

I love when T Rex wags his tail!

Yep mine also does it when it's time to poop! Or when she's just walked through her water. Think this is because they soak up water through their cloaca. Think that's the right word lol.
