My bearded dragon is about 2 years old and for the past 2 days she hasnt moved...she decided to lay down and has been laying in the same spot then sleeping ever since. Im very worried because i dont know whats wrong and i tried feeding her but she wont eat. Please send advice on what to do. Im very new to this but ive been feeding her/misting her everyday. I also have a bowl of water for her next to her food bowl. I feed her by hand when i see she isnt eating.

First test , get her out and see if she's still alive.
Easiest tests are she will not be stiff as a board , and at the same time not totally limp and there should be signs of breathing.
You can also test by momentarily placing her on her back, if she's alive and still strong enough she will try to right herself , or at least show she's liking being on her back.

Then report back.

Edit: so i got her out and she is breathing and alive, she was very dark in color though and felt cold. Today is a hot, sunny day so i took her outside for quite a bit and she began to move again and perked up quite a bit. I have her inside now and am going to bathe her. I have a 100watt heat lamp for her with 2 uvb bulbs. Is her heat lamp too low and the cause of this? If so what kind of bulb should i get?

Tell us the dimension of her tank
ie L x H x W

Tell us exactly what kind of heat globes for basking you have .
Brand, type, colour, wattage, how they are installed ( show us a photo of the setup ).

UV is what EXACTLY
BRAND, type ( curly compact ) , wattage , % UVB, how it's mounted and in what and where and how far from the basking spot.

How are you measuring the tank temperatures (show us what you are using) ?
basking spot temperature ?
Warm zone temperature ?
cool zone temperature ?

Season where you are ( winter or summer ? )

Room temperature during the day ? over night ?

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
