Good afternoon,

My beardie just woke up from her first brumation with her. As most new owners are I was very nervous waiting for her to come out. She was hiding away for about 2 months. She spent the first day after getting under her heat lights, but then I was confused that she spent the entire second day on the cool side. I checked the temp and my one heat lamp burned out so already ordered a new one from Amazon. I moved her over to the warm side now.

But looking at her more closely, I feel she lost a lot of weight, but could just be me over worrying And not seeing her for 2 months. (She never was very fat) Does she look healthy?

She hasent ate yet but likely due to just waking up, expecially due to lower temp in her usual sunning spot.

I got her used but suspect she is almost 2 years.

She is very pretty 😍
She does look a little thin, her fat pads are not great, she also may be a little dehydrated. I'd offer water and salad first (if she will eat greens) and bugs a few days out to give her system time to catch up.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
