My A. Geniculata molted back in February, and it didn't look like anything went wrong. She's refused to eat ever since, and basically spends all day every day hovering over her water dish. I make sure she has plenty of water by topping her up at least once a week and over filling the water dish, but she never moves from the dish. Her abdomen looks shrivelled, so I can tell she's dehydrated, but no matter how much water I give her it seems like she's not drinking.
Lately I've noticed that she seems to be having a bit more trouble moving, and her legs have been spasming like in the video. I'm very concerned, as I don't think she'll make it to her next molt if she won't eat or drink anything. I suspect DKS, even though I haven't used any chemicals around her enclosure, nor have I noticed any mold in the substrate. I keep my other ts on the same shelf as her, and they are all fine afaik.
I'm at a loss. Is there anything I can do to help her drink, or should I be thinking about euthanizing? I hate to draw this out and let her suffer.
