Default Female U. Henkeli acting crazy!

So I was checking on all of our enclosures today cleaning, misting,etc.. And noticed my 1.5 year old female awake. I didn't go in her enclosure but within a couple minutes she was running around her cage like a crazy gecko. I have never seen this before but she was running from the substrate back to the top, dive bombing back to the bottom, tearing through the plants, basically like she was freaking out in her enclosure. Any ideas what could make her act like this or tips what to do would be appreciated. Thanks much!

Was she moving normally? Any shaking or head wobbling?

I've seen this with females who are deficient in calcium, but sometimes they simply get spooked by something and decide to haul ass where ever they can get to.

Cheers!
