Tell them it's an emergency and see if they could send the video to at least a good exotics vet. And yes, post the video here. The description does describe some type of neurological problem. Is there any chance that she ate anything toxic, in or out of her tank ? Do you have the right uvb bulb, calcium + multi vitamin ?

I might also add that most dragons don't like being rubbed briskly (especially on the head). Gentle rub's are ok!! Remember back when you were a kid and, your crazy uncle would grab you and, rub his knuckles on your head....well, that's what this is to your dragon..... irritating.
The fact that, in that box, everything is coming at her from overhead, this spooks them.
Looks to be very healthy to me, just mad!!!

Can you post pictures of her tank setup for us, so we can see light placement, etc for her??
You are positive that she is female?
You mentioned you had a straight bulb, Reptisun 10, do you mean the long, fluorescent tube
bulb?
They definitely become very stressed when they are boxed in & things come from overhead
at them. Is she eating anything at all?

The box is not dirty, looks like a bit of powdered calcium in there. How sad for you + for your dragon. It's sad that some animals have seizures like we do as humans. You would really need an experienced vet to take blood tests, and MRI might show something but I don't think many vets would have the expertise. You might send this video to a vet that can consult with other experts and ask what they might suggest. Here's an article on seizures in exotic pets, go to page 3 referencing reptiles. One cause listed is over supplementation , dehydration can also be a cause.

What kind + how much supplementation do you give her ?
