He always sames to jerk

[LILSTAROFLOVE]

When ever I put him back in his cage he acts really slow jerks him self or rocks forward when he walks almost like put it in slow
Motion and he sames to stop after a while
But he's doing it again when I brought him
In from out side

its called the leaf walk. its a defense mechanism. he feels threatened, so hes making himself appear to be a leaf so you wont eat him.

I always call it the "nothing but a leaf in the wind, nothing to see here, move along" walk. lol he's like a little kid sometimes, does it when I spot him trying to climb somewhere he probably shouldn't be going..all innocent.
