Re: Adult Female Pyxie Still Acting Weird
I don't think she's able to get into that water bowl, try to find a food container tupperware that fits into your sterilite with the right dimensions. Make sure it's easy to access. You could try soaking her in a tepid water bath with Pedialyte (Electrolyte solution) for a few minutes if she seems real lethargic. Your temps and humidity are good, lighting good.
Her eyes might of clouded over like that if she is about to shed, or she might of developed an eye infection it might be time to go to a vet. I know we have already mentioned stress previously, but it seems like she is mostly stressed out and trying to acclimate. How long has it been since you moved her in there again? Is there a lot of movement, distractions, loud noise, around her enclosure? Have you ever seen her get into her water bowl? They often relieve themselves in their if it's accessible.
Try soaking her in a warm water bath for awhile while you clean her terrarium up if it's messy, get a different bowl, and maybe a few artificial plants or hides for cover to feel secure. If there's too much human exposure she might find it comforting to go hide under there for awhile. When you do get her to eat, try a softer diet for awhile - earthworms (night crawlers).
