Well iv had my beardie for about 16 months so she's about a year and a half and lately she has not been wanting to bask at all she will hide under her one cave area and either stare at me or sleep most of the day. She eats well very well and I feed her dubia roaches and greens everyday. She was having trouble going to the bathroom and had hard urates but she is finally starting to get bak on a regular poop schedule and the poop it mostly normal now. Her basking area is around 92-96 depending on how hot the room gets and the cool side is usually 75-82 she's been kind of ignoring her greens a bit a lot but loves her dubia. I normally have to place her on her bask spot and I can get her to stay for half an hour to an hour and when I take her out of the cage she struts around the room so it's not like she's lethargic. Her food is dusted with calcium 3-4 times a week and a vitamin powder 1-2 times. Her UVB is reptisun 10 and it was just changed a month ago not even. Just wanted someones opinion on what she might be going through I rly don't think it's her burmitation either cuz she's eating a lot and it's rly not that time of the year. Well if anyone has a clue it's appreciated

Hi. How are you taking the temps? Those are low for a dragon. I'd raise it to 100. What kind of reptisun are you using? Coil/compact or tube? What kind of basking light? What size enclosure?

I had it hotter and she wouldn't stay there at all when I would put her there I use one of those temp guns and hold it like 3" away when temping I use the reptisun tube light and it's a 100w white basking bulb in a 40 gallon tank I believe

Are you taking the temp on the basking surface? You can try taking her outside for some natural sun if its warm where you live.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
