Twitching

[sighkaika]

My chameleon has been twitching, its not anything seriously bad, I'm just concerned. It's his head that twitches, its just like a small little tick. He's very healthy and I'm more than positive he doesnt have MBD.

Heres a video of it:

I'm not sure why he does this, he only did it once in the video (Like, within the first second of the video) but he'll do it multiple times in the span of a couple minutes. Should i be worried? I've only seen him do this once before, even then, I was concerned.

Also a couple of minutes before this he was bobbing side to side. What does this mean?

its pretty normal my jacksons used to do that,i think so at least

I’ve read somewhere that head bobbing was a territorial/posturing thing my veiled has done it a couple of times before flaring up and sticking the beard out(full display)

The headshake is a stress indicator. Bobbing is definitely a defensive or territorial posture trying to look bigger.

Is he reacting to the lights I see flashing or is that a special effect?

That's a special effect.
