Our two shinglebacks appear to have a problem but it's been months and we still can't figure it out! Usually what happens is, (referring to the female that has done it twice, but the male also came down with the same thing) she'll lose her appetite, start writhing and struggling around her enclosure before weakening to the point of being unable to walk at all. In the space of 2-3 weeks she'll be back to normal once more :? but needless to say it scares us.
She and the male live in a 4x2x2 enclosure with breeder's choice substrate, UV and heat lights and an overnight heat emitter. The daytime temperature varies this time of year, usually between 35-40 since we turned it up after her first 'episode' back in April. They are fed on calcium dusted minced chicken frame with fresh greens and vegetables, and snails.
If anyone has ideas as to what this could be it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
