head shaking

[KingBowzer]

As I put her to bed tonight I noticed that as she was dozing off she was shaking her head. She has done this while eating but I never really thought much of it since it seemed like she would do it to shake off the piece of green that wouldn't go in her mouth while she ate. On top of that she started to do this really weird thing this morning after eating where she looked like she got really stiff and flattened out then she would lift the flap things inside her beard and start to jurk her head upward while opening and closing said flaps.

Hey man, hope all is well. It's a head shake and not a spasm? Sounds behavioural instead of a specific physical problem, but it's hard to tell without seeing it. Any chance you could take a video?

I'll see if I can catch her in the act.

I agree, a video would be helpful here. How long has this been going on?

I started maybe about week ago give or take a few days. She hasn't done it again lately (or maybe I just haven't seen her do it). But I try recording her every night as she dozes off.

On an unrelated note: she's been hiding and sleeping a lot lately. She isn't eating as much either. She looks healthy, when she's awake she's very alert but she's constantly looking for a place to crawl under and snuggle up to go to sleep. Whether inside or outside of the tank. I've been bringing her out of the tank for her to explore and get some excercise but all she does is run to my bed, climb it, and tries to shove herself under my pillows to go to sleep.
