... I dunno but.... her temps and stuff are ok?
No expert just throwing ideas

Temps
Mites?
I assume she's being fed right

Hopefully one of the corn maniacs are still awake.

Hmm, when was the last time she was fed? If so, is she being fed enough? I've heard that hunger can bring on an over-stimulated feeding response and will bite anything.

At worst, it may well be internal parasites tickling the nerves. As they're potentially fatal, a trip to the vets may well be in order.

i've heard of this a couple of times, we all thought that it could smell prey on it's scales so it was thrashing trying to reach it. every time i've heard of this it calms down within 24 to normal behaviour.

so sorry to hear that..

it does sond like she may have had some sort of seizure, and there may well have been nothing you could have done to help..

at least you tried tho, in that at least you came and asked..

again, commiserations..

Nerys
