    Anyone every seen a BP do this??!!

    Adult female BP.
    Rescued about 2 months ago in horrible condition.
    Had a UI and Mouth rot on top of not having a good shed in at LEAST a few months.
    Moth rot has cleared up nicely, UI is almost gone.
    Eyes are very, very cloudy almost solid.
    Just walked in to the room to find her laying like this, she's breathing a little heavy too.

    I've seen them lying inverted sometimes, but she looks kind of bloated. Do you have her on any kind of substrate?

    Yes, economic earth compressed coconut fiber substrate.
    I was in the process of cleaning her tank.

    Also tried to get her to feed but she's been afraid of live and f/t since we got her.
    Have to force feed...

    She was doing that while you were cleaning her tank? That's odd. I've seen them doing that before, but once I disturb them, they go back to lying normally. Is she normally that round? Maybe it's just the pic but she looks funny...

    She's been on newspaper for a while due to a burn on her underbelly, tried to feed her but she didn't take then I find her doing this.
    She was overweight when we got her but she's actually lost a bit of weight.
    Just pulled her out and she passed rocks! Literally hard bright yellow rocks!
    Ithink shes got a block.

    A warm bath will sometimes get them to go...the first time I tried this was in our bath tub...the wife was not pleased. And it was not fun to clean up. Now I just use a spare rubbermaid tub...

    I am the wife lol, I don't care about a mess.
    Seems like one section is extremely sensitive but it's closer to her head, almost half way down her.

    First thought is trying to cool her belly.
    With a belly burn, she could have some odd behavior.
