Lazy, stayin asleep all day, 9 mths old so not brumation??

Hi everyone, I haven't been on in a while, but my dragon is Frizzle (Frizzy) and she is 9 months old now, she eats silkies, collards, turnips, mustard, squash, occasional kale, bell pepper. Nothing has changed except the weather but her cage is at the right temps & does not go anywhere near 60 or below at night. She is due for a vet visit again soon I'm sure, and I am due to get another UVB, reptisun 10 because it is right at 6 months. So this is how she is acting, she is staying "in bed" all day unless I go in & move her to her rock, before this she had started to turn in several hours early in the evenings which was different for her. Her color is good, she's eating okay although it could be more by my opinion, she's never been active, she's a lazy beardie, she likes to be handfed if at all possible, cuddled, she has never been one to mess up her cage, or scratch on the glass, never anything like that. She is active in the bathtub only lol & then sometimes when she has run of the living room. Also her pooing is normal still as of now. Just this sleeping & being on the cool side more lately is strange for her. Do some of them "want" their basking temp to be less than 100?? Could it be the uvb is affecting her already because it is just now 6 months old? (ordering new one within one week). I guess I should also add that she is 14 & 1/4 inches long.
I do have reptiaid & acidolpholiz that I keep on hand but have never had to use. Is there any suggestions?

Thank you much in advance.

Jennifer

Just because she's 9 months doesn't mean it can't be brumation, just makes it slightly less likely. If she's still acting healthy but sleepy, that would be my guess for what's going on.

My 7 month old beardie went into FULL brumation almost 2 months ago.
she sleeps under a towel in her viv.

I take her out weekly for a bath. But the she goes straight back to sleep.

I have a similar problem with my beardy. He (I assume a he, I'm no expert but I'm fairly sure I can see 2 bulges when I look) just seems to curl up in a corner of his viv and not do anything. He moves about a bit, but not without me having to offer him some crickets or picking him up myself. He is quite happy to lay there until feeding time and is often trying to sleep a long time before the lights go out.

The other day, he decided to sleep in the cool end and when I got up the next day he was still there even though the lights had been on for several hours. He was freezing cold so I stuck him in the warm end. He was in the cold end for about 18 hours so I kinda freaked a bit.

I got him at Christmas 07 and he must have been a few months old then, so he's probably just over a year old and he was around 16 inches at last measurement.

I found this post because I too am worried there's something wrong.
