Yesterday evening I was laying on my bed watching my chams like always, the male is in a 2x3x5 enclosure and the female is in the corner free range beside him, they can’t see each other. I often leave the males door open while I watch him so I don’t have to look thorough the mesh on the door, well he finally got the sack to climb out onto the door after six months. I got up to catch the bugger and noticed that Ivy had seen him and was displaying her gravid coloration, I finished putting him away. I then proceeded to check on Ivy and to my horror she was flipped over hanging by one arm not breathing and her eyes where closed and bulging. I freaked and grabbed her, there was no response to my touch and she looked basically dead. I don’t give up so easily, I started to give her chest compressions and after about 30 seconds she began to breathe, it was labored but she was breathing. After about two minutes she regained consciousness and her strength slowly returned over the next hour. I placed her back in the free range and she went right back to basking, she also slept in her normal spot last night and seems completely fine this morning.
I have no clue wtf happened and was wondering if anyone had seen or heard of something like this happening before? I would be glad to post my husbandry if someone would post the form.
