Did my leo have a seizure?

My leo Squirt is about 6 or 7 months, and I had her outside for a walk with my other leo. She layed down a few times, but the last time she did it her muscles tensed and spazzed slightly and she made a fairly loud chirp, and her tongue came out a little. It only lasted maybe 3 seconds but shes never done that before. Shes on worm medication and wheezing medication, and I've been having to feed her Flucker's Reptiboost because she refuses to eat her worms while on medication.

What is her morph or her parents' morphs? That was a possible enigma syndrome scenario. Please try to take a video if it ever happens again

If your Leo is on medication it would be best to leave her in the cage for a while; medications for reptiles are very strong and it is a very stressful time for the animal.

The reaction you saw was a defensive gesture. She was telling you that she was not happy.

Try to keep the handling to a minimum until she is back on a proper diet.

Best of luck.

When you take Kevina and Squirt on walks what are the outside temperatures? Winter is setting in. Perhaps you live where day temps are in the 80s?

Im not sure of the temps, I just pick them up every few mins and if they feel somewhat chilly I take them inside to warm up, but we typically don't walk long even during warm weather.
