My leos sometimes while walking their legs will like twitch i thought maybe it was bc of my tiles being to hot (prev post) but im not so sure bc ive seen them do it on the cool side also and today I seen my male albino on the cool side and it looked like he had a twitch on his head or his neck anyone have any input on whats going on

Definitely could be. I am not 100% sure. Mine twitch their little legs a lot, but I dust their food with Miner-All and keep a calcium dish in their tank 3/7 days a week. Another thing, mine are pretty old (14 yrs!) and I have noticed them doing it more as they get older (2-3 times a week sometimes). I have yet to see my youngest one do it. Interesting point though! Probably worth looking into!
