VID-20200131-WA0001.mp4

1 of my balfouri, been like this for 3 days. Really active then resting then really active again. Ive increased hummidity and temp slightly. Can i get any other advice please?
Are you able to do a video of this? If it is DKS then it’s possible it will subside after a moult or two but no guarantees.
I did a vid but i cant add it to the thread but i sent it to phil. Just really hoping it survives
 
Dks maybe right just moved the poor thing and its shaking the right way up trying to walk

I'm afraid it looked very spasmodic in the video. As @T-Baby says another video will be helpful in that respect, if you are able tomorrow. Gutted for you but glad to hear you're taking the wise precaution of separating it for now.

.edit. sorry I only just noticed your comment re video
 
I don't have much to add. DKS is a symptom, but it can have multiple causes, like how fever is a symptom, but there are a lot of things that can cause it. I agree that the best thing is to separate it, wait and hope. If it eats/drinks, so much the better. Could be genetic, could be toxic exposure, could be parasites... I dunno. Sorry =( hope the lil guy pulls through.
 
Thank you everyone, i have separated it and im going to try and get it to its next moult hopefully. Will keep you posted
