Wagging tail?

Just fed my ball python and she started wagging her tail right before and after striking. This is the first time I’ve seen that in over three years. Is that normal?

I think so. I only have experience with my boy but he wags his tail when excited for food and has the whole time I've had him. It's a good sign to be careful if I need to do tank maintenance when he's in that kind of mood lol.

Okay word it was just unusual to see for the first time while I’ve had her about three and a half years
