They are inadequate -- she needs a 24" fixture w/ a reflector-- if she's in a 40 + gallon tank--- you need to do this ASAP-- at this point shes getting no UVB- you can try and hand feed her worms and salad is she eating salad? Basking temps what are they and how are you taking them? So sometimes it takes awhile to adjust - but she should be coming around - take a piece of clothing or fleece blanket something w/ your smell on it and put it in her hide- you need to have your hand in the tank as much as possible and start hand feeding her but you need to.get that UVB changed out ASAP-- I gave more info for you regarding feeding etc-- and websites to find a UVB fixture

I am hoping this will help. I try to do the best I can with all of my animals, but it's difficult as I've never had a reptile and there's no one I can get advice from. I really appreciate your help. Thanks!!
