yes the adult pair of day gex do not seem bothered by this. I am glad I asked the question, because none of the sub adults do the tail up at all.

Shannas research sounds spot on and does make sense. What I have noticed though is a pronounced dip / groove at the junction where the tail meets the body on the adult pair.

This dip / groove is not apparent on the younger gex. So I wonder if this is normal development as adulthood is reached or is a result of tail up syndrome?

I shall take some pics later when I get the time of the adults and the young ones you will be able to see what I mean. I will also try to get some tail up shots!
