Burmation

[LadyBell12]

My beardie Lady is three years old. This morning I got up and she was laying very flat and very still when I reached in to touch her she jerked and flared her beard. She can be grumpy but has only flared at me probably twice. Her skin is also very cold. I moved her under her heat lamp and now she is more alert. Is this something I should be concerned about or is she trying to hibernate?

It sounds to me like she was just warming herself up in the morning. My guy can be grumpy in the morning before he warms up. Dragons will often lay very flat and pancake themselves to absorb more heat. It is hard to say whether she is entering brumation, but I don't think so. Just give her about an hour to warm up before bugging her in the morning and she will be your happy little girl.
