Does she have a hide in the tank? How old is the dragon? Has she ever laid eggs before? Its possible she is gravid ---

Ok its possible she is gravid but lets go over your lighting----- surface basking temps are what and how are you taking them? NO stick ons they are ambient only -- UVB ? is it a coil or a long tube fixture? Your dragons behavior is all related to these things I just asked ---

So the UVB is in the tank ? 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor piece --- w/ that ruled out she may be gravid -- it sounds like it -- can you set up a laybox for her here is some info on that
LAYBOX
potting soil that doesn't have any type of chemicals or fertilizers in it, mixed with sand, etc. Be sure it is at least 10-12 inches deep & that the mix is damp enough to where it will hold up to her making a burrow but not sopping wet to have standing water. I would get this set up for her and see what she does in the meantime I am flagging to ahbd she is the best one to help here

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
