So my beardy was probably 4.5 years old and healthy, or rather not displaying any signs of sickness. Three days ago ate a good amount of roaches/salad.
Two days ago I noticed she had her eyes closed in her normal basking spot, when at this time any other day shes awake and basking, or glass surfing because she was about to poop.
I didn't think much of it, said maybe I'd give it a day maybe she's going to brumate or something. The following day she was doing same thing, eyes closed in basking spot, but then she slowly slid off of it and onto her back before quickly rolling rightside up on the floor of tank.
She then turned her body like a spiral sideways, and kept turning and half-dragging all her limbs and occasionally what looked like involuntarily opening her mouth and closing it (seizure maybe?).. This continued for about 5 minutes, she would keep turning and contorting. Then what looked to me like agonal breathing or death gasps and stopped moving, and now is dead.
Any idea what this could have possibly been? She had been having small bowel movements in the days she was eyes closed on basking spot, and a big one before that and had not eaten since, so I don't think it was impaction.
EDIT: Eats Collared Greens/Dandelion Greens/Dubia Roaches. 10.0 UVB mounted in cage. 100W Lamp. Repti-carpet bottom.
