I have noticed that 2 of my geckos do this weird thing where they are moving fine in empty space but then they jerk their head back as if something is there. It is like they move forwards and then backwards forwards and then backwards. Is this a sign of Enigma Syndrome. The geckos do not have enigma or white and yellow. This also usually only happens if they are under a little stress. Thanks. (if you want a video I can do that aswell.)
Head Jerk sign of Enigma Syndrome?

A video would be helpful. They may just be jumpy and trying to protect themselves. Enigma syndrome usually presents with star gazing (looking upward), walking in circles and general incoordination.

In that video I would guess it's dealing with a combination of trying to get through what looks like a clear area and also dealing with its reflection which it probably sees some of the time. Give it some time to grow up. It looks within the normal range to me.
