Penny has had me worried, lately. She was very slow to come out of her shell and moved very jerkily whenever she did, more like she was moving a fraction at a time with long pauses in between. She also was much slower when she moved from one spot to another and actually seemed to be staying still when I watched her.
I did notice that her body had a big, white bulge at the base of her shell and she had spent a lot of time hanging upside down from the lid of her tank; for days at a time in some cases. Could she have pulled a muscle?
She seems to be fine now, by the way. Her movement is pretty much back to normal, though she is still a bit slower than she was and hasn't climbed since I noticed anything wrong. She at least doesn't have the swelling any more, though.
