So..I was walking into my bedroom and glanced over at my girl's enclosure. What I just saw scared the crap out of me. So I look over, and I see the side of her hide moving up and down very quickly. I look underneath and see her breathing incredibly hard. Harder than I have ever seen...and then suddenly it stopped. So I start shaking, thinking that my BP just died or is dying. I just stand there motionless, not knowing what to do, and just generally freaked out. So my roommate comes in, since I'm not responding to anything he's asking...and starts to take off the top of her cage. At that moment, she sticks her head out and looks at us...she seems just fine. So the roommate walks out and I still just stand there. She takes her head back into her hide, and I, feeling a little less freaked out, decide to look into her hide. She's got herself laying in the weirdest position I've ever seen her in. For one, the tail (about one inch) is folded underneath her body(looking pretty darn limp)..then the rest of her body up until about 6 inches to the head is lying completely on its side. Then for the rest of her body to her head, she's got looped up (above the ground) and then her head is resting on the ground. WTF is she doing? The heavy breathing..and then laying out oddly....what is this? She hasn't shown any signs of RI to my knowledge. No coughing or breathing with her mouth open. Her temps haven't changed either and her humidity varies between 40%-60%.
Can somebody shed any light on this? I'm worried my baby girl is dying.![]()
