Strange movement

[Ben02]

hi, probably nothing to worry about but when I picked my tort up from the bath I examined the plastron by slightly tilting her, she the started moving her front leg and head really fast. I'm just worried it's some kind of spasm or seizure. Thank you for any advice

It's normal. Tortoises aren't fond of being picked up or held. When tipped they panic and start jerking.

Phew, thank you, I hardly ever pick them up so rarely see this.

Just wondering how you get them to and from their soaking tub?

Usually cup them in 2 hands when transporting them so I still pick them up
