    That almost sounds like a defensive stance. You know to warn predators that they are toxic by exposing their belly coloration. How often you you clean the water or do partial water changes to eliminate amonia buildup?

    Large crickets may be too big. I would stick with small and medium.

    You can get both at earth worms and red wigglers at Petsmart.

    honestly i do a full change every week. i cleaned her water today. it looked kinda cloudy which was weird cause i had just changed it saterday.

    i also got her some better rocks for her terrarium. the ones i had i got from walmart and they would keep sticking to her belly to stop that i had the frog moss. since i got her the brighter rocks she seems to notice the crickets better but she still hops away from them. as soon as one touches her she twitches and hops in the water.

    i usually stick with the smaller crickets but when i got them most of them were way too small.

    its weird tho she will like bend her head and back feet backwards she almost looked like a dried up corpse O_O but when i touch her she goes back to normal.

    I'm not sure what's going on with her. At first I thought she may be having seizeures, but she wouldn't snap out of one just because you touched her. The description sounds like a defencesive posture or warning stance. I don know what she would be percieveing as a thrwat other than you and if you've had her for a while she should be used to you by now.

    I'm just not sure.

    Did you ask for red wigglers or earth worms? Wax worms are food items used for a treat due to fat content. Blood worms would be fine as well.
