I just got a neonate gtp last weekend, and have noticed this twice. I don't know whether to think its cute or to worry.

While (s)he seems to be sleeping, the last half-inch to inch of the tail does a goofy little dance, in a motion almost like a ribbon in the wind. It appears for some reason to be the result of dreaming, as it starts up and slows down randomly, like the motion you'd see with any animal in it's sleep. But I was under the impression that snakes don't really have the mental capacity to do much dreaming. My BP and RTB don't move in their sleep...so this one has me stumped.

Oh, and while I have a topic open...(s)he has a black tail-tip, and I've gotten the impression reading online that that's a good thing for when his/her color changes, but couldn't find out why. Does this really mean anything for it's future color?
