She could be entering brumation. There is a very good article about brumation. It is linked in the "care sheets and articles" I suggest reading that. It will give you a lot of information about brumation. Brumation symptoms are the same as illness symptoms. The main difference is if she starts to loose lots of weight, she is probably ill. It is suggested to get your beardies a fecal done before letting them brumate because if they have parasites, the parasites will cause them to loose lots of weight and that's not good when they are not eating.

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

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
