Well it looks like I spoke too soon. On my last post I rot about how healthy and easy to take care of my tegu is. Today I came home from work and took clyde out of his cage to hold him, his body started jerking and spazing almost like a seizure. I held him for a few minutes then put him back in his cage. He is also doing this in his cage. He is always very docile, and I'm sure this isn't normal. However he did eat some crix, but this still worries me. Does anybody have any suggestions of what this is or could be? I hope he will be alright!

There are MANY possible excuses for what is wrong with your tegu, and yes something is wrong. From what you've said, anything would be nothing more than a guess. Find a good, reputable herpetologically experienced vet and take the tegu to them.

agree. that could be anything from hypocalcemia from poor husbandry (no UV, no Ca++ D3 supplements, temps too low) to sepsis (internal infection). need a vet.
