Default My salmon pink isnt eating...

I got my female salmon pink in March, for about a month she ate a couple of chunks of heart every week.
She hasnt eaten since then, I dont know when she last shed because the shop had no info on her.
Shes getting quite thin now, and im starting to worry a lot more about her.
Shes not interested in food, and she is always in her water bowl.
Im not sure how long adult female Ts fast before they shed, should i be worried about her?
Im a bit stuck about what to do, atm i give her lots of water and offer her live food and heart.
anyone got any ideas as to why shes not eating?

sounds like she could be coming up for a shed. adult females can take months of fasting before a shed so dont get too worried about her, as long as her temps are ok then i would just leave her to it, she should shed soon.
oh, another thing, can you see the skin on her abdomen? has it gotten darker at all? sort of blackey purple colour?
