UVB is a what? Brand and bulb please tube or coil and where in the tank is it? UVB's do not give off heat only your basking bulb should give off heat unless your using a All in One bulb --- if so what is it brand and wattage and how far from basking decor -- and how old is it
That does sound like a RI issue you are going to need to take her to the vet for antibiotics
www.arav.org if you need to find a reptile vet --

Hello,

Definitely post some pictures for us, so we can see her physical condition as well as
the tank setup, too.
Which UVB are youi using, is it a compact/coil or a long tube bulb?
For now, until you know whether or not she has a respiratory infection, try to keep her
tank around 78-82 or so overnight to help boost her immune system.
How are you measuring the temperatures, with a digital probe or temp gun?
