Help, Dyskinetic syndrome

[CRX]

Hey all. I posted here a few months ago about some DKS that killed several of my Ts. Well, tonight I checked on my P. chordatus. When I opened the lid on his jar, he spazzed out and practicially flew around the inside of the jar, showing the spastic movements that are typical of DKS. This is pretty disconcerting.

In the last thread I posted, people said that my dog's frontline medication caused the DKS, and since my Ts got DKS around the same time my dogs were getting frontline, I assumed that caused it. But it's just early April here, and my dogs haven't had ANY frontline since last fall. I ALWAYS practice good hygiene when working with my Ts, and always wash my hands before doing anything with them.

Since frontline cannot be the culprit here, I'm forced to assume that it was the crickets that caused it, because some of them are showing the EXACT symptoms the T is showing.

Any help/input appreciated.

Too little is really known.. if nothing has changed in their husbandry, there have been no heat flashes, and not dehydrated.. throw out the food source, get a fresh batch, and ensure nothing gets sprayed, is all I can suggest.
