Hey guys I need your help. I’m new to being a beard mom. I have had my dragon for maybe a year now. But for the last 3 days my dragon hasn’t wanted to move. Not even for food. She still has crickets running around in her cage for 2 nights ago when I tried feeding her. She laying flat on the cold side of her tank. And she’s also not even acknowledging when I put my hand in there to pet her. She also looked very dark as if she’s stressed. What should I do?

Go over the surface basking temps how are you getting them -- uvb coil or long tube fixture? Please get the crickets out of the tank they will bite - these things I have asked about are crucial to her survival

so the uvb light is a tube fixture. I also have the normal heating lamp. And I will certainly do that!

Can you post pics of her so we can see her condition and of her habitat? How old is she, it could be brumation maybe, but we need to rule out health issues.

Hello,

Yes, please try to post some pictures of her along with
her tank setup so we can be sure everything is correct.
How is she doing today, is she black bearding?
Brumation is common, but we need to make sure there
aren't any underlying health issues going on.
Has she moved much or is she still laying still & lethargic?

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
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
