I had no idea this was a known behaviour for these geckos, I just thought it froze mid-stride due to disturbance. Silly me! Now I know better so thanks once again!

Congrats on getting to see one! Not only do you have him showing off his tail, but you also have him showcasing another unusual behaviour: the leg off to the side, toes curled up to look like a twig. This behaviour is only newly known from these geckos. Really great stuff!
