today i was getting ready for work, and i was in the snake room, (its warm lol) and i noticed my RTB's tail like flinching... i tried to get a video buy by time i got my phone, he only did it 1 time.. i can try and upload the video if need be, but it looked like a muscle spasm or something? should i be worried?

Caudal luring, relatively common in younger boas. Are you sure it's not twitching?

No, its not jerky like a twitch, its like he is waving with his tail.... Or making a roll... Lol I.can't explain it.

I've caught the Baby bci I sold doing this when she was on a branch... Very cool to watch and I found she was hungry when she did this..

One of my Bloods will do that if he's hunting, another will do it if he irritated with my presence :)
