Could be impaction --- what are you feeding her -- insects and the size of the insect please post a pic of her head and the insect--- what kind of substrate and your basking temps what are they and how are you taking them and your UVB coil or a tube please

Her basking temperature is at 90 degrees Fahrenheit to measure them I use the Zilla humidity and temperature gauge. Here are some photos of her food to her head including the heat lamp I use, but she also eats Dubia roach which are basically the size of her head.

Ok so the basking temps need to be 95-100 for a 6 month - adult dragon -- babies 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer
Zoo Med Reptile Terrarium Digital Thermometer | reptile Humidity & Temperature Control | PetSmart I would get 2 of them one for your basking side and one for the cool side -- the heat emitter is good for temps at nite if they are falling under 65 -- and not over 75--- you need this or similar to for basking Exo Terra® Intense Basking Spot Light | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart this is a CLEAR bright white bulb I would start w/ a 100 watt and go from there -- make sure you place the probe on the spot where she / he basks --- 10 minutes or so get temp --- what are you using for a UVB -- size is good for roaches -- your dragon cannot digest the food w/ temps so low and you need the bright white bulb I posted ---- the UVB helps them digest the calcium your feeding / and synthesize the calcium as well --- please feed some canned pumpkin plain to your dragon to push the poop out make sure she/ he is hydrated this will help push things along as well but you MUST get your lighting in order --- if your using a coil for a UVB please replace it w/ a long tube fixture like a 24" fixture for a 40+ gallon tank - if you need links to the UVB please ask but this is a absolute MUST -- along w/ the basking bulb --- please get a digital probe hygrometer Exo Terra Digital Hygrometer place the probe on the back center wall of the tank --- optimal humidity is 40-50% nothing under 20 and nothing over 701% ---- if you need to get the UVB they do have certain placement and distance for it please post and I will help you

Hello,

How is your dragon doing?
That definitely could be an impaction, has it change at all over the last day or so?
Does he possibly have some shed or a sperm plug there on his little hiney?
