My female GGB has been acting extremely different these last two months, I'd say her behavior to me is getting more concerning because I'm looking into possible issues but none seem to fit, so it's hard to find a solution! Is there even anything wrong? Time is passing and I feel like I'm not doing anything when I should be.
Someone help me please!
Facts:
- SUCCESSFUL 4TH MOLT
Successfully completed her last and final molt months ago, seemed to be perfectly normal, only her abdomen to me still looks below average size. I was told it will fill up with time, but it seems skinner than before.
- SMALL BUT HARMLESS ABDOMEN
Despite a small abdomen, she bounced back quickly and normally after molt, seemed to be just fine with no question to a possible bad molt.
- NOT AS ACTIVE/ DECREASED ACTIVITY
2 months ago, she just seemed slower, I NEVER catch her moving around her cage like I used to. Very rarely I'd glance over and catch her making a slow motion movement but she stops, almost as if she knows I'm looking.
- COLOR, SIZE, FANGS, HAIRS, EVERYTHING LOOKS HEALTHY.
- I CHANGE WATER/FEED AS REGULARLY AS POSSIBLE.
-Seems like shes ALWAYS on the walls of her tank. NEVER goes into her hide.
- Spilled a major puddle of water a few weeks ago, and didn't do anything about it. It soaked into the dirt and the next morning she built web all along the ground like a sidewalk; she walks perfectly fine over it and doesn't seem uncomfortable.
- CARVINGS IN THE AIR HOLES OF HER TANK
Heard tapping a few weeks ago, I'm assuming she tries to escape. Scratches in the plastic probably from her fangs gripping the walls.
- WHITE STUFF ON TANK WALLS AND FLOOR CORNERS.
Looks like poop or tiny specs of white cream color balls. Seem completely harmless.
- NO THREATS DETECTED IN TANKLE
Nothing is moving, or growing. Doesn't seem like there is anything living of concern in the tank. I would watch closely for so long, observing with a flash light and find nothing of concern at all.
- TOO HOT/TOO COLD?
The temperature in my room can very when I'm not home; who knows if she gets too cold when no one turns the main house heater on or if is left on and my room gets stuffy with no window opened?
But for the most part I maintain an appropriate temperature I'd say.
- SHRIVELLED, NOODLE, LOOSELY CURLED LEGS
A couple of times, maybe 5 or 6 times these past 2 months I catch her legs looking squiggly. She is just sitting on the wall of her tank and they look damaged but after sometime she just stretches them out again. She isn't dehydrated because her water dish is always full and fresh. And it isn't from the molt because she only recently began to show this.
- SEEMS LIKE LESS WEBBING
It doesn't look like there is as much webbing filling her tank as before. The webbing now looks pathetic, stringy as if she isn't trying or doesn't care to fill her tank up with Web everyw here.
- NO SIGNS OF:
Dehydration- she never hovers and there is always water. If anything, this past week she hasn't drank at all, her dish is still completely full. Which it never stays full to the top for long.
-Doesn't make sudden jerks or rapid movement
-Doesn't look like she is dragging her body or in pain when she moves
- STAYS IN ONE PLACE FOREVER
-MOVES SO SLOW, NORMAL STRIDES BUT LIKE IN SLOW MOTION AND RARELY GOES FAR.
- IT'S EVEN MORE RARE TO CATCH HER ACTING NORMAL. I think I've seen it twice since everything started. And again it's just for a few seconds after I walk in and then she never does it again as long astory far as I'm seeing.
-She's slightly moved somethings around in her tank. Branches that I had perked up or leaning on things arent in the same place, just slightly though.
- She isn't active when I give her attention anymore, now she just pauses so hard she looks like a statue. I used to talk to her or watch her closely and shed just be SO ACTIVE no matter what, anything active and normal that you could imagine, and now, nothing at all, just solid stiff paused.
I guess that's all I can tell.
Any ideas?!
