: Sleestack looks and acts fairly healthy (good eater/pooper), has proper diet, sun, etc. but we notice that he does these crazy twitches every once in awhile (a few per day) where he quickly repositions his entire body. It's like he was startled but he is calm the second before the twitch and the second after (and nothing is happening to spook him-- except he may be spooking himself) He always does it at least once in the bathtub (and he acts much stranger in this new bathtub than in the old one-- don't think he likes the surface as much) but he also twitches in random situations. He is a bit high strung-- wound pretty tightly so I could see where he might be freaking himself out, but I'm hoping this isn't a sign of some strange nervous disorder!! What do you guys think?

sounds like he needs more calcium in his diet i hope you add vitanins to his food everyday and are feeding him good stuff like kale collard greens mustardgreens parsley if it continues get him to the vet
