So my baby beardie sleeps alot lately. If she sleeps for a extremely long time should i let her sleep or should get her up. When i get her up she does not just go right back to sleep, she stays awake and sits in a basking spot. Or should i just let her sleep?

Welcome to beardeddragon.org! :blob5: :blob8:

She could have parasites, so you need to get her to a vet to get a fecal done ASAP! Please answer these questions:

How old is your dragon?
How long is your dragon?
What size enclosure do you have your dragon in?
What type substrate do you have on the bottom of your tank?
Do you use UVB lights?
If so, Is it a coil, compact, fluorescent tube, or Mercury Vapor bulb?
What is the brand name and number of your bulb? Wattage (if MVB)?
How old is your UVB bulb?
How close can your dragon get to the UVB?
Do you use a separate basking bulb? What kind and what is the wattage?
What are the basking temps?
What is the cool side temp?
Do you take the temps with a stick on thermometer, a digital thermometer with a wire and a probe end or a temp gun?
Where exactly are you taking your basking temps?
Do you use a heat rock or heat pad?
What do you feed your dragon? Please be specific.
How often do you feed and what time do you feed (morning, afternoon, night)?
Do you gutload (feed) your crickets, worms, etc?
Do you use vitamin or calcium supplements? What brand(s)? How many days a week do you use each of them?
Is your dragon having regular bowel movements (poops)?
Do you bath your dragon? How often?
Do you mist your dragon or offer water other than in the bath?
Does your dragon share an enclosure with another dragon?

Keep us posted one her!

culbert9, did you get a digital thermometer with probe end or temperature gun yet? What are the basking & cool side temps.

It's not a good sign that your baby wants to sleep so much. How do you keep her hydrated? Dehydration can cause lethargic behavior. How many crickets is she eating a day and how often are you using calcium and vitamin supplements?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
