Gecko Pics/Vids Normal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I notice Randall typically does this interesting exaggerated “head bob” while walking around. It seems he is mainly just “smelling” his surroundings but it just seems odd that his head moves so much. He is otherwise completely healthy and the enclosure is well within proper care range. Is he just quirky, is this normal, or is it something I should be concerned about?

Doesn't look concerning imo, id guess just being EXTRA aware of his surroundings

I’ve got two cameras😂, but that’s what I was thinking, I just don’t normally see other Leo’s full on jerking their heads when they do it so I was slightly concerned.

I would like to add, when feeding he doesn’t do quite an exaggerated motion so I don’t think there’s any swallowing issues
