Hello all! I work for an institution and we have two colonies of African Giant Millipedes. We have also had very successful colonies and currently we have seen a shift in done what we thought were one off things happening. We opened our bins to feed the millipedes yesterday and found that one in each bin was doing the same odd movement at the same time. We have only ever seen this once before and our vets have no idea what it could be. The millipedes were laying on the surface on their sides with head curled in but the rest of the body straight and all legs move in a synchronous wave. They also seemed to be excreting some liquid at some point while this is happening. 1 have a video as well but here is a picture of the curled head and extended body. If anyone has any idea what this could be or mean I would appreciate all info. For more context the other millipedes in the tanks were acting completely normal.

It looks like some sort of fit or irritation to the mill', very strange that it's only 1 in each group. Are they cb or wc?

@Ratmosphere I know you play with cent's any chance you know anything about mill's or know anyone on ab that does? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head.
