This week I noticed my A. anax began moving weird when I went to refill her water bowl.
Last week she was hiding under her cork, and the week before that she ate. I gave her 2 medium red runners and her movements were fast and precise. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I have left 3 videos, 2 of them showing her abnormal movement, and 1 showing her enclosure.
Also sorry about the video of me touching her with the brush. She was obviously startled, I don't like bothering my Ts I only did it so we can observe the abnormal movement.

Does the issue involve the way her set up is? My room is usually low to mid 70s depending on the day and usually the room is around 60% humidity. All my other Ts seem to be doing fine.

Cautiously- I think something is not right. I've had one T mysteriously uncoordinated movement, and die. None of the others immediately around it had issues. All in the same type of container, maker etc.

In my case something internal with its health was going on, no doubt to me- what. IDK. Same with yours, can't say.

Your box shouldn't be an issue unless there is some out gassing of chemicals from the plastic- who knows. Pretty T.

These types of issues are always mysteries about 99% of the time.

Maybe it has to do something with where she comes from? I bought her from my LPS and she was pretty cheap, I'm assuming she is WC. This was like a few months ago.

Luckily she molted within 2 weeks of my care I was able to sex her. I hope she can get pass this but it’s looking grimmer everyday that passes.
