I think my snake Is sick

So I handle Sammy daily, and just now I see that he stops moving for a second then his body jerks. I think I screwed up, my humidity was around the 70's for a few days. Did the humidity affect Sammy? I hope I didn't do anything wrong :(

I think you should maybe cut back on handling Sammy and maybe let her rest a bit and see if things improve. Make sure your husbandry is dialed in on temps. Humidity at the level for a couple days should be fine. She may just be stressed from all the handling

Humidity swings for a few days aren't going to cause changes in motor control. It's hard to picture exactly what's going on from "body jerks" which, depending on how it's jerking, could range from harmless to alarming. I'd leave him alone for a while too and observe in his enclosure. If it persists, you should probably look for a reputable reptile vet in your area to take a look.
