Beardie still lethargic for 3 months and 2 weeks

[doommig]

So like the title says she's still lethargic. I have to almost force her to eat, well she eats by her self, but I have to take her out of the cave and set things to her preference. She's eating much less now than before all this. Shes in her cave 24/7. She is about 8 months old. A big worry is she hasn't shed in like 3-4 months. On the up side her weight is stable at about 195 grams, I've been tracking her weight for the past 3 weeks. This abnormal behavior has been going on for about 3 months and 2 weeks. Since mother's day. Here is her setup.
T5 24 inch 10.0 reflector zoo med uvb tube -- 8 and a half inches closest to the light ( the very top of her cave.) 13 and a half inches from the basking spot to the uvb light running diagonal ( the uvb is on top of fine mesh) see photos for reference.
Basking spot is about 98- 100 degrees with the Ambient I think is 85 , but on the cave Is 90 degrees if she gets too hot on her basking spot.
Cool side sits at 77- 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
That's everything, hope I'm not forgetting anything. Here is a pic of her enclosure right now.

If Any one could tell me if this is normal behavior and what not thank you

P.s she doesn't like to poop much, I kinda have to give her a bath to poop now. I mean she never bask, even after she eats , so I guess it makes sense.

You're welcome, I think she's just stressed for some reason but it's good for her to learn that being out of the cave is O.K.

Hey, so I took out the cave and replaced it with that log you see in it's place. My goal was to get a decor log that is low that way I can put the uvb light inside the enclosure by fishing line. And aim it to get between 12- 15 inches of the uvb light. You think this will be a good idea or is that too much uvb light exposure for her? Also she willingly went to go bask on her own so I'm very happy about that, she hasn't done that In ages!

Distance of 12-15 inches directly above her is good

O.K, good ! She's being a fearless dragon now. Make sure to take note of any pets in the house [ if you have any] that would scare her by their presence and keep them out of the room.

Ok so I finally put the uvb light inside the tank and it's sitting directly about 12 inches above the log you see in the back. Does this look okay to you??? It's not too much uvb exposure? I just want to make sure that if she wants to go to her hammock to get away from the uvb she can. Here are the pics.
Uvb tube is at the back.

She will go sit under the UVB when she needs to - and no its not too much exposure - watch her behavior now and see what she does
