Re: Why is my Hognose Twitching
I believe that hognoses are known to have a reaction similar to that to provent-a-mite. I know that you said that this started before you thought mites were an issue, but is it possibly that your snake has been exposed to some sort of chemical? I know that we've been doing a lot of sanitizing these days, perhaps your snake was exposed to something? Or, any chance you're using pine shavings instead of aspen, coco coir, etc? The chemicals in pine or cedar could do that too.
Barring a chemical issue, it could have something to do with the husbandry; for example, excessive heat, dehydration, etc. Can you share the details of your husbandry, cage size, heat sources, how heat is regulated, etc?
