A Little Worried About My Leo

[KQQM]

So I've had my baby for about a year, almost two years. Got him from my ex's cousin and he's a lovely little dude. He loves just laying on my laptop while I do school work. Anyway these past few days I've noticed this weird thing he does with his face and it's really worrying. It's like he scrunches it up and will even twitch a little. It's not even like a regular pattern either, it just happens out of the blue. I don't know if it's something he's eaten or what. He's done it with his whole body a few times too; just scrunches up and shakes a little and he's all good after. I'm just worried if I should take him in to the vet something.

Just some other details: he's got a 20 gallon tank, a hidey hole, and a water dish I keep filled. He's well fed and I make sure to keep his tank clean. We haven't had any problems before and I'm a first time reptile owner. Got him because I've always loved lizards and I'm allergic to both cats and dogs. I'm not for sure on how old he is but the guy guessed he was about five when I got him so he's almost seven now. He's never had problems with shedding and isn't very vocal either. He's just a cutie that keeps me company while I play video games and homework.

This little guy is everything to me and I just don't want him to be sick or something. Thank you.

Hmm, I've having trouble picturing what he's doing. The word "twitch" does have me a little concerned though.

It might help to troubleshoot if you copy and fill out the survey that's posted over in the Health and Medications forum, which will provide really detailed info about his setup and care.
