twisting -ing form

I saw atoms dancing before my eyes. I had had visions of this kind before, but could now see larger structures, long rows of atoms connected together and twisting like a snake.

Is "twisting" right here? or twisted?
or
long rows of atoms connected together, twisting like a snake.
