She looks very thin & sick. I would try calling around, maybe one Of the rescue places can help.

I agree. She is quite sick. Where are you located?

Woah she is looking very very thin. Her eyes are sunken too. What is her feeding schedule like and what is she eating, if anything at all? How is her tank setup? She needs a warm bath right away to see if she will attempt to drink anything on her own.

***********************
As everyone had already said, she does not look good at all. She's way thinner than normal for brumation and her eye is sunken in. The black beard (if it's constant) is an indication that she's not feeling well.

What does her poops look like and does it smell?
What are you feeding her and how often?
When was the last time she ate? What was it?

Thank you for the information. She has not been eating very much. Her cage set up is very up to date. Uv lights, spot basking and heat lamp. A friend of mine is recommending an affordable vet to see. I appreciate your comments

If you can, let us know what the vet says and if there's anything else we can help you with.

Good luck.

Hello,

Oh dear, she is very thin!
Can you review the type & brand of UVB lights you are using though & the supplementation schedule she is on? How long has she not been feeling well?
Definitely let us know how she is doing & how the vet visit goes also.
