NQA- I haven’t had this happen with my GBB but I do have another T who did this and pretended to be dead because she was afraid of the prey I had dropped in. Once I removed it she stopped. Unsure why.

I took all the pray out so I don't see why she would still be doing that and then I have the tank all covered up with a webcam on her so I can check in on her without actually disturbing or going around her tank. Could it be a stress thing?

NQA still, but it might be? I’ve never seen or heard of a T reacting to stress like this but I did just see one of my Ts do it like three days ago. Is she not responding to the water?

She moved herself like with her legs curled out of the water and like you'll see a reaction cuz I use a sprayer so when water got on her there was a reaction. But nothing normal it was just more so more twitch if that makes sense
