Hi, I need some help!

I've been keeping my mali uro for several years now and he's always been a healthy guy. Today I noticed that he's tilting his head a lot and sometimes as he's running around the tank, he tips over onto his back and rolls right over onto his back with his belly up, and then rights himself and keeps going. I'm not sure what could be wrong. Has anyone heard of anything like this before?

His temps are correct, he has a large tank with lots of hides and basking spots, his diet is primarily vegitarian, with lots of greens, and I occasionally give him two or three crickets for a treat.

I haven't used any chemicals around the tank, and although I live in an apartment building, I haven't Noticed any smells of chemicals being used in the building.

I haven't noticed any rocks having been moved to the point that it looks like anything could have fallen or hurt him (they are very steady).

Any ideas?

Thanks!
