I noticed some strange movements of my M. mesomelas (yeah, I know, if it could have been any of them but this one and my P. metallica I wouldn't be quite as annoyed, as horrible as that sounds!). It seems to be periodically pitching forwards and backwards in quick, jerky movements, almost like a swaying. Not like the up and down leg movements that cause the T to fly all over the place like I have seem in some of the dyskinetic syndrome videos. It seems more controlled, but still out of place and unusual. It has not been fed for about a week and a half and refused food when offered tonight. There are also no obvious signs of it being in pre-molt. Also, none of my other T's have exhibited this behavior. So I am led to believe it has nothing to do with a feeder problem or with a molt.
I did recently have some problems with the air quality in my apartment. To make a long, complicated landlord-tenant drama short, there is something in the air in my apartment that is causing me severe asthma problems. I moved into the apt two weeks ago and am now in the process of trying to move out (grrr!). The T's have been there during this time and were just moved to another location where I am staying today. I am thinking perhaps that whatever this problem is (whether dyskinetic sydrome or something else), it could be the result of something in the air in my apt (though this is the only T I'm having problems with so far) or because of the stress of the move today (a 2 hour drive in a car that was kept at decent temps).
Any thoughts on what this could be? For those who have dealt with dyskinetic syndrome, what did you do to treat it? Currently, this T is quarantined in an ICU where I plan to leave it for the next day or so undisturbed. Have you experienced the movements described above - the jerky swaying forward and backward - as signs of dyskinetic?
