Hey all,
I am stumped on this one. My female Borneo has been exhibiting some strange behavior lately. I have had her for 7 years and she has been in good health. Let me first preface this by saying that she seems otherwise healthy and eats a large rat a week without a problem.
A couple of weeks ago I moved her and the male into smaller seperate enclosures for the winter. The room temp is about 80-85 degrees. Afew days after being in hwer new enclosure she started having what I would call Spasms. Her whole body will jerk and her tail will rattle back and forth. it may happen every 5 minutes for a few hours than not at all for a few hours. I thought at first she may being impacted so I soaked her for a few days. She does not have the spasms when she is in the tub or when I let her out of the cage. I have cleaned the cage thouroughly with bleach and rinsed it out well but everytime I put her back in it happens again. My male bornoe and my female ball are in the same divided enclousure and they are fine. She seems to be clear of any external parasites. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott Steele
