    It could be something to do with the fact that she's incredibly bloated/over weight. Does she normally look like that? What on earth are you feeding her?

    Hi, does she always look that bloated? Also has she defecated since you got her? A while ago one of mine seemed to be very puffed up nearly all the time, on advice I put her into a tub of luke warm water, after about ten minutes she defecated and and looked a lot skinnier. Back in her tank she was eager to feed.
    Also is she cold? Its been cold the last week and I have noticed that when mine burrow down in the substrate, which is quite deep, and come into contact with the glass they are much colder than the surface of the substrate or air in the tank ( I used a data logger with a temperature sensor to check this). I now use an acrylic sheet under the substrate as this is a better thermal insulator.
