She looks like shes having some sort of seizure-- please get some substrate w/ some texture to it as well - put some dish towels in there or some paper towels -- what are you using for a UVB coil or a tube ? Please go over your whole set up basking temps how your taking them ? and please get another video of her from the front I would like to see her face and no that is not normal behavior -- I need some others to look at herHi, my bearded dragon went through what I believe was brumation a couple days ago, I'm not really sure when she woke up because I was at university for while she was sleeping but when I came home recently I saw her doing this, it has occurred 4 times that I have seen and the attached video shows the time most recent time as of this post. I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on, I am worried that she is in pain or something may have happened and that's why she was sleeping for so long, outside of these moments she is very lethargic and doesn't move, I haven't gotten her to eat roaches but she has eaten some greens but only out of my hand.
I am using a 10.0 zoomed UVB tube, her basking spot is around 100-110, the warm side of her terrarium is 90 and the cooler side is around 80, I will try and get another video when she does it again but when she does this behavior it is completely random, I managed feel her before she started being touch averse and I didn't feel any eggs so I don't believe that she could possibly be gravid, and for reference she is around a year and a half oldShe looks like shes having some sort of seizure-- please get some substrate w/ some texture to it as well - put some dish towels in there or some paper towels -- what are you using for a UVB coil or a tube ?

Is the UVB on top of the screen or inside the tank -- the screen will block 30% of the rays so if its a fine mesh screen it needs to be inside -- 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor -- I have flagged your post to some others that can help -- one is our vet tech --I am using a 10.0 zoomed UVB tube, her basking spot is around 100-110, the warm side of her terrarium is 90 and the cooler side is around 80, I will try and get another video when she does it again but when she does this behavior it is completely random, I managed feel her before she started being touch averse and I didn't feel any eggs so I don't believe that she could possibly be gravid, and for reference she is around a year and a half old

The UVB I use is a T5, I give her calcium every other day dusting her roaches, she doesn't always eat them so if she doesn't I dust her greens which I give daily, essentially I give her calcium every other day, and 2 days ago is the first time I saw this behavior, this video shows the 3rd time this has happened and it is the only one I have on video.Hello,
It does appear she had some type of seizure, bless her.
The UVB appears to be fine, perhaps you could move it just a bit closer if it's a T8. Usually
6-8 inches for a T8 is perfectly acceptable.
How often do you give calcium supplementation for her?
Is this the first time you have witnessed this type of behavior?

You may want to make sure her salad is pesticide free. I had a similar scare that improved when i switched to organics. Best of luck to you. Hopefully yours will improve also!She looks like shes having some sort of seizure-- please get some substrate w/ some texture to it as well - put some dish towels in there or some paper towels -- what are you using for a UVB coil or a tube ?
