doesnt want to bask

for about a week now ive noticed that june hasn't been basking in the morning, she wakes up in her basking spot and does her stretches and runs into her hide. i dont think its too hot, its around 95-107 and its been that tempeture since i got the bulb in October.

How are you getting that temp? No stick ons please-- digital probe thermometers are the most accurate - what type of basking bulb? Is it a solid clear bright white bulb?

Have you tried waiting 45 minutes to an hour; & then putting June up there.?
I've noticed sometimes it's a behavioral issue.

Try to focus on her basking when she eats.

What Karrie Ree said, Aswell. digital probes are common to buy.
Also, look into eventually replacing the bulb if this doesn't work. & Let us know.

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
