Default Worried about my pink zebra?

I was just checking my spids and my pink zebra was completely burried under the substrate (eco earth) so I uncovered her and gave her a little nudge and she seemed quite sluggish and didn't really move at all.

Is this down to the heat? has she buried herself to escape the heat?

What should I do, put her in a cooler place?

By the sound of it its trying to escape the heat. I cant find any info of it being a burrower so id try to move it to a cool area.

I am a bit concerned that she hadn't dug out a cave like thing like T's sometimes do, she was just buried. I have moved her to the bottom shelf for the time being, so I haven't dramatically changed her temp, just lowered slightly.
