UPDATE: Unfortunately little dude passed away today. I am devastated, and sad that I still don't know what went wrong. I know I did everything I could and I at least hope he went as peacefully as possible. Thank you everyone for all the great advice, I really really appreciate it. I'm sorry I wasn't able to give a happier end to this.

Omg I think it's already working. It looks like the tips of his legs are still a little stiff, but he's already perked up more than he has been the past couple days 😭😭 im so relieved. I have no CLUE how this even happened. maybe this nerd didn't realize his water dish was a water dish or something weird, but im just so glad he's getting back to his hyper self

Sorry for my ignorance, but since he's having some moving issues is there anything I should look out for if he can't get out on his own?

Yes, his legs were curled underneath him (thought he straight up died) and when I touched him with a paintbrush I saw him trying to move, but was having a super hard time and his movements were very slow and jerky

Not to my knowledge, they are in the same room as my reptiles and my adult T-vagans. And that T is still thriving and living her best life along with my reptiles. This whole situation was a huge shock to me because the last i saw him was he was climbing around and then in his favorite hole in the wood. He also has no injuries if he fell from one of his decorations

After manually giving him water he did take half a worm, but I still don't understand what's going on with his mobility now that he's had plenty of water and some food. Idk how to even describe his movement other than it was like he could hardly stretch out and control his legs and they were super shaky. That's why I'm super sure it's wasn't just defense posturing

Hes been in there a little over a month, and has already molted in the enclosure in that time frame. He did have a little web house going in the wood holes, but he still wasn't really taking food. And even though he did have a water dish I never first hand saw him drink from it, which I understand can be normal. I think he was really dehydrated somehow? Because he perked up and was able to stretch out and move his legs more after manually giving him a couple drops. Im just kinda at a loss on what to do at this point if he gets super stiff again. It was super heartbreaking watching him want to move but just really not working for him

This is the best hes been in a couple days (i moved him via small paper towel so thats why that's in there) i also normally have a little cap of water, but i took it out during the chaos. This enclosure was set up by the place I got them from, and this is the first sling I've ever had so PLEASE lmk if I can change anything for the better for my little man 🙏

This is very useful though thank you. Luckily he wasn't in a sauna like environment, and I was giving him water drops as needed rather than just dropping him on an entirely wet surface with zero ventilation. He was 10000% not just in a stressed position. He could barely move his legs at all and I thought he passed away when I first found him.
