: Melissa mentioned myclonic twitching in igs. My ig does that sometimes, but I thought something just startled her. Is this twitching serious or is it a normal thing some igs do?

: Myoclonic jerks are perfectly normal, for igs as well as humans. It's the same as when your whole body jerks just as you're falling asleep. Don't

: Sometimes, for no reason at all, Bubbette kinda "jumps", like she's startled or
: something. Sometimes she jerks/jumps like that when I touch her and she's not
: expecting it, especially in the morning. But sometimes, it seems to be for no
: reason. With the D3 topic going on, I seem to remember some time ago about
: reading that too much? or little? D3 could cause jerkiness. Would this be the
: same thing? I've noticed it for about 6 months now. (she's about 20 months
: old). Is this normal, or abnormal? I think I'm doing most things right,
: husbandry-wise. Any ideas?

: Don't you ever jerk like "someone's walking over your grave"? Igs do it to.
: These perfectly harmless myclonic jerks scare the bejeezus out of ig keepers
: but don't bother the igs at all.

: xta - if all this sounds like what you are describing then I wouldn't worry about it! However, if it is JUST toes or JUST some body part rather than the whole body get back in touch about it.
