Also called Digital fluttering, there is a number of reasons people think darts do this (other frogs and toads do it too), one might be to attact food, or to scare it so they see it move.

Predatory animals are ogten oberved twitching whilst hunting, my cat and my lizards do it but each in their own way, often its related to high levels of excitement and an inability to contol their muscle contractions as the contemplate attack!
