Is this normal? Eating

[Reager]

So my little guy is about 7-8 months old. I got him about 2 months ago. He does this thing when he eats that I can't find any information on. He stretches out his back legs but only when eating, is that normal for a hermann??

Is there a light nearby?
It looks like he's basking

Try giving him a feeding dish. Like a clay saucer with low sides or a piece of slate tile and normal substrate to stand on and see if he still does it. That wood looks slippery and may be why he does it.

Where is his enclosure? Can we see some pictures of it? He is beautiful.

No I usually take him out of his tank to feed him to make sure he's eatting well. Thats what I thought at first too.

Thank you. I normally feed him out of his enclosure to really get a sense of how much he's eating plus I LOVE watching him eat, it is adorable, but here is what he's living in right now.
