I am leaning toward this as well. It so very sudden. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

The uvb bulb is inside the enclosure no screen blocking it. She got calcium dust on her dubia or salad but only once a day. Thank you for the kind words. I’m absolutely heartbroken

UPDATE: She passed away. I am devastated and I don't understand. This was so fast.

This was sudden onset as of this morning. 10 month old bearded. Circling and loss of balance. Temperature and humidity fine. Has a uvb bulb less than 3 months old with no mesh between it and the enclosure. Everything was fine yesterday. She ate and pooped. I don’t know what to do!! I’m very...

ETA: I may have figured it out. I blocked her reflection and she hasn't done it since. Will update if that changes. ETA2: It hasn't stopped her. It did for a while, but she is still doing it. Hello: My 9-month old female beardie is glass surfing...a lot. She is in the top enclosure of a 3 stack...
