    Willow twitched a little, head to left when she was gravid. She only did it once and started the shedding process shortly after.

    Could it be vitamine B problem? Does he eat much fish with thiamine?
    Keep an eye on him and see if it gets worse.

    I think it's just a nervous tick like wayne said but it could never hurt to give him a few extra vitamins to be safe. I think he will be just fine though. Keep us posted on how he does.

    Silv twitches a lot. But then again, he has extensive brain damage. So... not really sure how to apply that to a normal snake..

    Kat - I doubt my baby male is gravid.

    Wayne what do you mean nervous tick? Are you saying he's a nervous/jumpy snake? Cause he is NOT I swear you'll never meet a calmer snake.

    He's never touched thiamin fish....

    BLUE, What vitamins should I give him?

    Re: Twitching/Flinching?

    my albino checkered I think has nightmares. In the middle of the night I'll get woken up by loud skittering, sounds like a snake in dry grass. I have a nightlight on all of my tanks and I saw blizzard racing around the tank frantically for about 20 seconds, then she calms down and hides. It happens maybe once a week.

    This snake before she became into my posession was a rack snake, had an enclosure that was 12" x 6" x 3". Maybe she has nightmares about being in closed spaces? she is in a large 20g aquarium that she can see out of with a couple buddies now

    Haha I guess it could be taken that way too. I was just saying that my snake did the twitchy thing too, but she went into shed right after. I guesses I could have left the gravid part out.
