Recently I have noticed that my veiled has been twitching alot... It seems to be involuntary. Does anyone know if this could be symptoms of anything?

I can't picture what you mean. If he is jerking and swaying while climbing it may be an attempt to fool you (he's saying I am a swaying leaf not a cham). If he's just sitting still with muscle spasms it could be a sign of mineral deficiency. Other symptoms include weak grip and clumsiness, deformed legs, rib fractures, and a limp posture. Please give us more detailed info. What do you dust/gutload with, how often, what type of lighting (don't just say "UV" tell us what brand and how old). How long have you had him? How old is he?
