Hey so Xion stopped eating two days ago and won't leave her cave, she sleeps through the day (though sometimes she opens her eyes and gives me the stink eye) and I'm worried she's brumating. She's only 9 months old and her tank is nice and warm, but most concerningly she's currently being treated for pinworms and I'm afraid she won't be able to fight it off in this state. Is there anything I can/should do? Is it ok to still give her medication when she's like this?

Update I think she might've just been depressed from her paper towel quarantine tank & that I haven't been interacting with her since I had a cold. She seems fine now, but I'll keep an eye on her.

Good to hear. Make sure you monitor her weight as well. The medicine for the worms should do its magic pretty fast.

Hello,

How long has she been on the deworming medication? Keep her well hydrated.
They do love attention so it's possible she may have been down because her environment was different, too. They get used to their home being a certain way.

Let us know how she is doing.

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
