Hissers Help

When I woke up this morning I saw that one of my hissers a male lying on one side and couldn't get up. He was twitching and lost all voluntary use of the two front legs. There seems to be erratic body movement shaking. The abdomen is stright and arched up most of the time.

I have isolated him from the rest and now observing closely at the rest of the colony to see of any ailing symptoms. I would like to treat this one male right now though. Any suggestions?

Temps 75-80*F
Substrate .5in my hissers have egg cartons they hide under with the rest of the colony. They don't like to burrow.

Is this one of your new ones, or the ones you got from me?

New ones.

He died about 2 hours later. I am preparing him for preservation now.

Whew!  (Sighs with relief)

Sorry to hear about his condition -- it sounds really unpleasant, whatever it was...

I've never seen any of mine do anything like that.
