>>Yes she is usually huddled up. It's in a 10 gal. tank with about 6" of organic topsoil. The substrate stays moist and the temps stay between 75 and 80. I mist the tank a couple times a week and feed roaches about 1 time a week. She has a shallow water dish and a piece of pvc stuck into the substrate (that is where most my other t's start their burrows)

T does not sound happy. Not sure why. Possibly the substrate is too damp. It should ideally have a gradient - dry on one side, and moist on the other. Or at least let it dry out completelt before wetting again.

Not sure about topsoil as a substrate by itself, it has a lot of clay in it and can be quite hard. I mixed mine in with peat moss or coconut coir.

Those are the only thing I saw that could possibley be off.
