She is doing alot better it went away when i changed the cage. I did it when i first got her about three month ago to but i guess for her cage ill do it about ever two month to avoid this happening again.

I would stop overflowing the water dish all together. There is no need for it and can lead to mold. It is recommended to keep roseas bone dry with a water dish present. Adding moisture anywhere else will do nothing but harm.
What type of cage is it in? It may not be getting enough ventilation either. Mine have a completely screened top. It gives them plenty of ventilation. I never add extra moisture to their cages either and they are doing exceptionally well.

Yes, no overflowing of the water dish. I keep my female G.Rosea on dry substrate with the humidity round about 60-65% and she is absolutely fine...And might I add that she has not fasted once in nearly 2 years...
