Weird ant behavior. Won't stop running.

So I have had my camponotus N colony in a medium Tupperware container for a few days now exploring, everything normal. But one of them kept trying to climb to the top but kept falling down..That had went on for a few hours to the point where it can't even climb at all. it's just constantly trying to run up the side in the exact same spot as if it was on a tread mill. Again hes been in this state a for a few hours aswel and is starting to move very slow. Has anyone had this before?

I've had this happen before with one of my Camponotus hyatti workers. It kept climbing up the side of the AC Test Tube Portal and when it touched the Vaseline barrier it would fall back down. I think it was trying to escape. Later on, I saw it actually over the barrier and it was just chilling out. I think it was trying to escape/explore more. It hasn't done it again since then, and won't pass the barrier anymore.
