[QUOTE="Scorp, post: 202552, member: 37820"] My metallica passed a few days ago roughly 5 years old. Nothing new in enclosure Heat and humidity is automated Molted 5 weeks prior Ate 2 horned worms then stopped eating She changed up her location in the tank, her cute little butt got really small, I never saw her drink but always gave fresh water. She was definitely a She but started to act like a male drumming, then it's almost like she got confused, forgot how to use her legs, or would get lost in her tank and spin circles in one spot. Also I noticed black fecal on her tank wall instead of the usual white. My main concern is could this be a poisoning or virus or somthing, should I be putting an air filter in my bug room just incase? None of my other T's, scorps, or snakes are having issues. [/QUOTE]
