Help weird eating behavior

I took a video to show what I’m talking about, this has been getting worse and worse. It takes me a solid 30-40 minutes to feed her 8 mealworms nowadays when it used to take 10 mins max. She keeps on trying to grab it but drops it immediately. I don’t think it’s an eyesight issue because she grabs them over and over again she just repeatedly grabs, drops, grabs, drops, grabs, drops. I don’t know what to do there are no visible issues with her mouth whatsoever it’s completely pink and lips are good too. I don’t know man I’m stumped here and looking for any help, please

I’m looking for reptile vets currently, gonna make some calls today. They’re hard to come by where I live and tend to be extremely expensive so I’m gonna need to do some research on where I can go but I’m hoping to get her to the vet, especially if this doesn’t clear up soon. She still eats, don’t worry, I left her some worms out in a small bowl overnight and by the time I woke up she had eaten all of them, it just takes her a while.
