My juvenile beardie slept all day. is this normal?

[dina332]

hi, my beardie is around 7 months old and today she slept ALL DAY without moving. she has not eaten anything since yesterday morning and even then i had to force feed her some crickets. i am afraid i might be doing something wrong because she isn’t feeding on her insects anymore and is being lazier than usual.

i am located in Australia and it’s currently winter so during the night the temperatures drop below 19 degrees celsius. i picked up a ceramic heat bulb from the pet store which isn’t helping much because it doesn’t change the temperature during the night. is the cold weather the reason she’s being lethargic and sleeping the whole day? i also did research and don’t think it’s brumation as she is young. perhaps i’m doing something wrong?

Go over the lighting in your tank please UVB brand and bulb? Is there a reflector on the UVB fixture? Where in the tank is it top of screen or inside the tank -- basking temps what are they and how are you taking them? She should not be sleeping all the time and not eating she is too young for brumation- -- unless she is a really big dragon -- No stick ons for temp gauges you need digital probe thermometer
Post a pic of the tank and lighting please
