Hello,

How is Lexi doing today?
Can you review your tank setup for her, such as the type/brand of UVB lighting, basking light,
temperatures, substrate, etc so we can be sure everything is all setup properly.
Does she eat any vegetation at all? At 8 months of age, she should be eating some but they
can be stubborn about it!
If she has recently gone through a big growth spurt, it isn't unusual for them to hit a slowing
down period to rest & recover.

Hello,

How is she doing today?
That is a good sign she isn't losing weight. What sized insects/crickets are you using, are they
smaller than the space between her eyes?
Are you using a UVB light?
At her age, it isn't out of the ordinary that she could be brumating, it does happen often.
She looks good & of good weight right now. If she continues to be lethargic it might be a good
idea to consider getting a fecal done on her to be sure she doesn't have worms or parasites.

Hello she ate 3 worms today she still very active . she basking right now i use a t8 . the worms are not bigger than the space between her eyes

Hello,

Will she eat much vegetation along with her worms, or not so much? Adults can be very
stubborn about eating their greens!
What brand of tube bulb is your T8, is it a Reptisun 10? How old is it?
