General Care Discussion :: SHAKING HIS FRONT CLAWS??? WHY???

[weepixieni]

Harvey is coming up to the glass and bringing his claws down shaking them is this normal? Am just wondering if he is ok? he has never done this before. A friend had mentioned that perhaps he is just in the mood for mating. He's in a tank on his lonesome.

sex dance, can be considered aggressive behavior, very normal, think of a dog that just likes humping legs, cushions, and other inanimate objects

thanks spencemasta. i had looked it up online and thats what we had thought i just wanted to double check. I wouldn't consider it aggressive because he is very friendly. we found it very amusing went on for about 5 mins. bless him.

He probably saw his reflection in the glass and thought he looked like a worthy opponent

H is a lovely turtle lol. quite the attention seeker only lets me and my boyfriends daughter hold him he struggles when anybody else trys to even lift him.

I agree with bulldog...he might his reflection and he was just showing his reflection that this is his area.

That dance can be sex dance and dominating dance
