The Herky Jerky Dance! lol it's funny. Mine do it if they smell another snake on me, regardless of if the previous snake was the opposite gender.

It is very normal for them to do that. I am sure that it was just because she smelled him. I compare them doing that noise to, when a dog is sniffing somthing and the do that partial sneeze thing to get the smell out of their nose. Snakes do that jerky moving thing during breeding or I have also had them do it when they don't want me to be touching them when they are in their viv.

One of mine that doesn't always like to be handled does the twitchy thing sometimes. Other times, she gives me a 'hipshot' pushing my hand away where I touch. It's funny

One of my females does that and it cracks me up every time.

This morning my corn Kevin seemed very interested in the wall of his viv, and was looking around it (he can see his reflection). This seemed relatively normal until he put his mouth right up to the wall and started twitching as his face moved along the wall. A while after, I took him out because I was worried but he seems fine, strong as normal and no more twitching. He is eating, defecating, breathing as normal (although he has done that sneeze thing before) but he did feel a bit cold, so I removed a little bit more of the substrate above his heat mat. He also has plenty of water. Does anyone know anything about why he did that twitching? very worried.

Oh, he just shed his skin. In front of me. Probably just getting ready to shed!

My Pueblan milk did this so much at first! Some of my corns have done this, too, but nowhere near the level of the milk snake. He used to be very twitchy but isn't so much now.

Snake twitch/jerking??

Hi Guys,
It's possible that the snake is exhibitin twitching or jerking behavior due to various reasons such as stress, illness, or neurological issues. If you notice these symptoms, it's important to consult a veterinarian specializing in reptiles to ensure the snake's well-being.
