so i was cleaning out my garters tank today and he started to spin in a circle with his head in the air with his mouth open trying to bite me. Then when i pulled my hand out he sat there for about 5 seconds then turned around and bit himself and held on for about 1 minute. Then he got all puffed up and only about the back 5 inches of him was twitching and then after about 2 minutes he got very skinny and went limp. he stayed limp for about 10 minutes then started to slowly move but his head was dragging. Not sure whats going on.
he has done this twice in 2 days and showed no symptoms the day before the first "seizure???" happened.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
