Hi, I have four wild-caught long-toes. They have been doing great for several months, except yesterday I noticed one of them was shaking. They are by a window, so I think the light changes outside would give them signals to hibernate, however I don't believe shaking would be part of hibernation. Is it? The shaking has stopped today, but it may come back as quickly. please help
 
Maybe he will do it again tonight, I saw him shaking last night around 10:00-11:00, but this afternoon he seemed fine. I'll try to get a video. I will keep you updated.
 
He seemed fine today, the closest thing I can describe it to is the chills. His head was moving side to side, almost like he was shivering. The terrarium is 2/3 land, and then it goes to gravel, then water. I found him curled up on the gravel under a slab of rock.
 
I found him shaking again the other night. I went to get a camera and he was normal when I came back. I will continue to try to get a video, but If he can do it that quick, hopefully he'll be fine.
