Okay. About a month or so ago we had to remove our Diablo Blanco from her usual enclosure and put her by her lonesome b/c she was having issues with keeping on weight. We originally assumed it was because her other two tank mates may not have been letting her get to any crickets during feasting time, but yesterday we noted some odd behavior. We put her in a tub a tub with quite a few crickets, trying to see if the numbers would get her excited and motivate her to eat more. Well, so paid absolutely no attention to the live crickets, however, she did walk around and when she would get to a dead cricket she would smell it and then eat it. She also snapped at the corner of an egg crate. We haven't noticed any other odd behavior, and she doesn't appear to be completely blind because she still shows obvious sensitivity to light. We're taking her to the vet as soon as we can, since the herp vet around here isn't in the office all the time, but is there any advice that anyone can give in the meantime as to what we can do or what the possible cause of this odd behavior may be? Thanks in advance!! 
If anyone needs to know any anyformation on the husbandry/set up:
*her cage is about 85-90 on the hot side and about 75-80 on the warm side. She has appropriate hides and she eats crickets dusted with a multivitamin/calcium supplement and she has a source of calcium in her enclosure. For substrate we have reptile carpet.*
