Hello again ladies and gents... Our oldest female(Sheila) is looking bad. She's extremely pale looking and her tongue and toes are white(not pink). It sort of looks like there's no blood flow. She's awake and alert. Her behavior is not anything strange. She started looking like this yesterday. Her underside I can see her eggs but she looks as if she has a big "bruise"/dark spot on her upper belly. ZooMed carpet, no sand, perfect enviroment and housed by herself. She was eating fine last week (as I only feed her every 4 days now with it still being winterlike weather here) Today was day 4 and I bought crickets and needless to say she won't look at it. Possible impaction from food? Sick from something? Is it normal for gravid females to lose half of their tail mass within a week? Egg binding? I'm up for any and all suggestions/comments. If her behavior gets abnormal I'll do the vet thing, but like I said, she's acting normal and happy. She just looks pale.

Thanks in advance and thanks for this forum with great people such as all of you.
P.S. She's the hypotang in my avatar picture.
