Hello, my dragon has been acting pretty strange as of recently. Ever since I had her (Aside from the first week) she would always stay in the light and would eat plenty, but sometime last month she started showing signs of brumation, completely avoiding the light, and ignoring all food. She doesn't poop unless I give her a bath anymore, and recently she's stopped drinking water even when in the bath.
A little bit more information:
She's coming up on a year, I'd say she's about eight months old if not nine.
I usually feed her dubia roaches, but lately she only eats meal worms which I thought was the sole reason for her not pooping, but sometimes she still goes days even after only eating roaches. I also thought the reason behind her not eating was because she just favored worms, but yesterday morning she ate about seven roaches. I'm definitely still going to try to switch to superworms.
I did also use sand substrate for about four weeks a while back. I thought it would be ok since I don't feed her in her tank, and it was only on half of the tank. I did take it out of course.
The weather here although is starting to get warmer is usually pretty cold, and humid. About two days ago the temperture hit 80 degrees which was about the highest it's been all year, usually it's in the 60's. The tank meter usually has been at the right humidity, but after I recently washed it out it's kind of been stuck at 40-50.
She's getting a lot thinner, and as of this week there are light signs of dehydration. Should I be worried?
