Is this normal!

Is it normal for my little crested gecko to curl his/her tail. He does this all the time whether it be around branches or fingers or just around himself while he curls up in the leaves

Their tails have prehensile proptlerties. You may notice the tip has a flat pad of "sticky" setae, the same stuff that makes their feed adhere when they're climbing.

Yeah I have noticed that so this is completely normal then! Like my one curls his tail up all the time around my finger and around himself like this while he sleep while my other just lets it hang lol.

I have never actually seen one hang from someone's finger O _ O just be careful that they don't drop it, they will not grow one back
