Answer 3

You'll need to take her to a vet. She may be suffering from stress.

Make sure your enclosure set up is proper. You need 2 hide boxes, one on the cool side and one on the heated side. Make sure your heated side is maintaining a temp between 80-90 degrees. Always keep a supply of fresh drinking water. As for bedding there are many options. Personally i use astro turf because its easy to clean and helps during the shedding process.

How often do you handle her? Its best not to do it during the shedding process. You can handle handle her after a meal but do so about 48 hours after shes eaten.

Im not sure what else it could be but good luck.
