Re: garter twitches

thanks for responding to my post.
she is skittish when i first pick her up but
in general, she sits curled up in my hand,
the twitching usually happens when im holding her,
almost akin to when your eyelid twitches.
so she is calm and docile but also seems to have a nervous way about her too.
is it possible that feeding her the wrong kind of worms could do this. i usually dig up the worms myself, from under rocks and such. i've assumed they were nightcrawlers and not red wrigglers. maybe giving her some slugs could put a little more balance in the diet.
perhaps lake water vs. tap water?
what do you think about the jungle labs anti-parasite product as a preventative measure.
(sorry about all the questions but this forum is such a good resource of information)
