Inflated hisser females

Urko2013

First Instar
Thankfully i havent had that many (one or two over a year) and it seems to be adult females.

Each time i thought they were expanding to have babies but each time they have bloated/inflated

then died shortly after.

Ive cut them open when dead as i thought they may have been pregnant but each time they have non inside.

Is there a disease that can happen now and again where the hisser "inflates" ?

Any thoughts please ?

My colony is about 200+ and all the rest are in great health i just get this happening occassionally.
