Hey guys, thanks for all the input, so it's been a month since she was showing the erratic behavior (super active, walking around enclosure, leaving little poops around, knocking down furniture etc.) She displayed that behavior for about 2 weeks, I put her in the lay box daily and she doesn't do anything in there. No digging at all. She just tries to get out.
Now the past 2 weeks she started slowing down and becoming inactive which is exactly what happened last time and it's giving me so much anxiety worrying about if it's going to happen again. The last few days she's been having bloody bowel movements and seems to be pushing really hard and straining. I don't know if she shelled her eggs and is trying to lay or if something else is wrong. Last time she was acting erratic and slowed down the vet said she absorbed her follicles meaning she never shelled them which made her so sick.. this time I'm wondering if it's the same thing or if she did shell them and is trying to lay. It's so confusing! She does have an appt tomorrow with the exotics specialist to re-draw blood and check her uric acid levels again. She's still taking 0.4ml of allopurinol daily and is still alert and eats well. Her enclosure is set up correctly with lighting and all the husbandry stuff verified by this forum in previous posts. Not sure what else I can do, I spoke to someone in an insect/reptile museum this weekend and she said it sounds like I'm doing everything she can think of... giving water with syringe, greens, diet, lighting is good..substrate fine, dig box, temps in range. Any other thoughts that can help me? Here are some pics of her recent bowel movements..
She actually just had a bowel movement and I recorded a video to show how hard she's pushing. It kind of looked like an egg was about to pop out in the very beginning of the video because there was a huge bulge that I've never seen before... but nothing came out only poop. Please let me know your thoughts.. Thank you in advanced! Here's the link https://youtu.be/AjUvC4nFUqc
