Female tail gestures

This is the female from the fishhook incident, later that day actually. I noticed her prancing around with her tail held foward abover her head. She has done this in the past, usually infront of the aggressive male. I snapped this picture yesterday.

This female did lay her first cluctch of inferts at the end of December. I was not sure around what days that would make her receptive...if they do become receptive around the same time each year w/proper conditions.
 
This species is so interesting!

I wonder what that gesture means, I wonder if its a inviting or defensive behavior.
