She is in a 2 foot Viv With a heat mat underneath and a red bulb at night! heat is around 86, and she is on kitchen roll but im about to change her on to fine sand, as i think it looks better! as for age to be honest im really not sure i got her from some1 on here and he got her off a friend of his as he was moving away! x

Try upping the temps to 90 this will help her digest her food properly.
If she isnt gaining weight properly i wouldnt change to sand yet as it just causes more... well it could be this and it could be that! How are you gutloading your livefood, it may be that there is no nutrional value in the food your offering if not gut loaded!

Calypso and nutrobol?
Do you feed the livefood before you feed it to her?
