I've been feeding him adult mice, once a week. He's living in a 18inch x 24inch terrarium. I have a heating pad on one side and a light on the top. Large enough water dish for him to fully lay in, a place to hide and a large branch that he easily climbs. I recently moved from Oklahoma to Missouri, and wondered if perhaps it was the change in humidity that has caused his disinterest in food. He's only ate once since I moved.

As for the twitching, he only does it when I'm holding him. He's never done this before and he's certainly not head shy at all. I try to handle him once a day, and he has never tried to bite, no hissing, not even a shake of his tail. I've noticed tonight also that he was half arched up with his body on the floor and his head inches above the ground just looking straight ahead at the doors on his terrarium.

I thank you for all the suggestions and will give some of them a try with the mice. I feel like an overly worried parent atm.
