My beardie is about 5 months old and we brought her for a nail trim and since then she is very lethargic barely eats anything, I give her baths and after she acts like she is dead (eyes closed, tongue out and very floppy) this has gone on for about 2 weeks, I have checked her lighting and basking/cool areas and they are within range
When she walks she does not get on all 4 she just drags herself across the bottom of her cage if she moves at all

It looks like you have a screw in uvb bulb in the picture. Is that correct? If so it is likely to source of her issues. Those bulbs are 100% inadequate for a beardie. She needs a long tube florescent style bulb.
The ZooMed 10.0 high output t5 at 24 inches or the Arcadia pro t5 12% desert also 24 inches are good options.
Please go over your entire setup and your husbandry so we can help you solve this. 🙂

I agree, it could be a combination of both of the scenarios that the 2 other posters mentioned. Btw, heat rocks are very dangerous and have burned many reptiles very severely. They don't register the heat as it gets high enough to burn them.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
