Thanks for reaching out about Draco. Tremors or twitching in young reptiles can often be due to low calcium levels, often associated with an inadequate diet. Check and correct diet and husbandry including temperature and UVB exposure. A veterinary visit is highly recommended to assess, provide a diagnostic plan and review diet/husbandry. Good luck.
