i agree with that too /\.

if every thing is ok it may be coming into shed?

As above check for mites and I would personaly drop the hot spot temp to 30*c as this may help.

Does her skin look sore anywhere? Is there any retained shed?

Check really carefully for mites, and I would try bumping the humidity up a little and the temperature down a little.

if it mites and it's sitting inthe water bowl you will see small black dots in the water.

where is the water bowl in the cool end?
