Tegu Shaking Head

Hey I noticed today when I was feeding my tegu he kind of shook him head, I'm not sure if it would be considered a twitch or not but I was just wondering if this is anything to be concerned about. I have been feeding him a varied diet of f/t fuzzies, ground lean turkey, liver, and eggs. I also have used a zoomed vitamin power (no d3) and cod liver oil every few days.

I assume it's normal, 'cause my baby always shaked his head and kind of rubs his mouth on things after he swallows food.

Yea mine always wipes his mouth and stuff, but I haven't really noticed him shaking his head until very recently.

Tegus shake their head to rip food apart, and also sometimes if they have something in their mouth they do not want to swallow.
