tail flicking???

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?

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