Perhaps she is getting ready to molt?

What is the ammonia, pH, nitrate and nitrite level of the water she's in? These guys breathe water so you have to know what it's composition is or they end up poisoning themselves with their own wastes extremely quickly. (Sometimes in as little as a few hours if things aren't set up right.)
