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.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
