Neck jerking

dmbfan Jul 27, 2004 04:05 PM

I have noticed that my turtle often jerks her neck to the side repeatedly. She does this often when basking and sometimes when she is in the water. She is eating well, basking regularly, no change in health or anything? What is the jerking about?

You know, my turtle does this too while she is basking. I don't think it is a serious symptom of anything, but mayber we can do some research.
