Gecko Spasms/Twitching?

I bought a girl from Repticon on Saturday, and whenever I touch her/pick her up, she breaks into a fit of spasms.
She's very new here, so I've avoided handling her, but I had to rearrange some things in her tank the other day which required moving her, and that's when I noticed this.
It will last anywhere from thirty seconds to about a minute and a half, and after that she seems fine. She only does it after I interact with her.
She's not an enigma, so Enigma Syndrome is probably out of the question.
I've got a video of it here:

Does anyone have ANY clue what this could be?


Edit:
I came home today to find her dead. Her spasms had let up over the past two days, but I guess she just wasn't healthy.

sorry for your loss :( so sad.
Im not a vet but there are many things that can cause symptoms like this, such as MBD, respiratory infections ect.
seen as you have video evidence i would recommend contacting the seller and talking to them. find out if they have had any other similar problems with others from the batch? they might refund your money, not that it helps with the loss of course.

Very sorry for your loss. No clue as to as what my have caused her "seizures". I would contact the breeder, as well. Won't make the loss any easier, but you may get some answers or information for them.

Again, very sorry about your dear Leo. [emoji22]
