    bump up the temp?

    What are you using for an enclosure? If it is a tank, you may want to try blacking out/covering the sides and really cluttering it up (crumpled paper works well).

    exoterra 12x18x18 I have the back wall covered and was thinking to cover the left side (wall side where wires run) not sure if i'd like to close the front or right side (viewing sides)

    This is my first BP; i plan to keep a display set-up that i can make homey for her. As for future BP's i plan to move into a Tub system.

    bump up the temp?

    60g is quite small, so my suggestion would be to get her eating first, and worry about how she will adjust to a display type setup once she has gained some weight. I have had good luck getting problem feeders to eat by putting them in a totally dark, really cluttered up tub, so I think covering her enclosure for a bit might help you get her going.
