I've noticed that sometimes when Sid is in his warm hide he jumps. You can see his hide move very suddenly when he does this. Some people feel they fall off a path edge as they start to drift off to sleep and will awake with a jolt. Is this similar with snakes? Strange question I know, probably with a logical explanation.

I'm sure somewhere in the world some crazy scientist has tested if snakes dream. I don't see why they couldn't so maybe he is dreaming.

Sounds like it could be shivering.
A lot of snakes do it to help them regulate temperature, more so if they're incubating eggs though.

Corns can't do that, they are not able to regulate their temps by muscle twitching, they cannot incubator their own eggs! That's python and some cobras.
I have only come across a corn that had a similar thing, but he was severely dehydrated and it had caused neurological issues.

Didn't think corns could do it, I actually thought it was only snakes in the python family.
But was the only thing that sounded familiar to me.

No reason for him not to be Rachel, it might be just something he does!
