Beardie not moving as much- sleeping?

[c4ndyc0rez]

I noticed about in the afternoon yesterday that she seemed to be really still on her basking area and I didn't think much of it until today when after she woke up she seemed to move only an inch and fall back asleep again. I'm concerned because she was really vivacious and full of energy just a day before and I'm not sure what caused this. It could be brumation, but the temperature in her tank hasn’t gotten any colder at all.

How old is the dragon and please tell us the lighting being used
UVB ? NO coils --- long tube fixture
Basking temps what are they and how are you taking them ? NO stick ons they are inaccurate

The dragon is a juvenile- I'm using a reptisun 10 T8 and a 150 watt basking heat light. Basking area temperature seems to be in the 90’s but I'm not sure how accurate it is. I’m using a probe thermometer

Probes are good ---most accurate --- the T 8 where is it ? Top of screen or inside the tank?

Top of the screen. I tried to get something to put it inside the tank but the velcro strap was out of stock. I checked and apparently the T8 can work through the mesh

It cannot-- misinformation- your T 8 needs to be unobstructed from the screen and the clear plastic cover that's over the bulb-- the screen is blocking 30% of the Ray's and if the cover is even more than that --- the basking decor needs to directly under the UVB 6-8 inches-- I can post things in the morning to hang w/

Alright. I’ll try to see if the straps I found online are still in stock
