so recently the past 3 days or so my beardie who is about 6 or 7 months and 13 inches doesnt bask as much she spends all day hiding in her hide and doesnt come out for greens anymore and needs to be lured out to eat live food.

i gave her a bath today to get her to poop because she wont come out of the hut

im using the reptisun 10.0 t5 bulb mounted in her enclosure she is within about 6 inches of it
flood light for heat basking spot is around 100F
cool side is around 87F (it used to be lower but our house is warm now)

her diet is mainly crickets and collard greens

do you think it may just be too warm for her?

she is starting to darken and turn greyish like she does before a shed however she neverdid this before and usually always basks while shedding and eats

Has she been pooping ok? What do you use to measure temperature? It's not cool enough and she's not old enough for her to think it's brumating time...
Is she normally pretty active?

i have a temp gun i use but i also have a probe thermometer to double check if im curious she did skip pooping one day because she didnt come out of her hut for long but i gave her a bath yesterday and she did poop normal size as usual she is usually quite lazy while in her cage but shes usually laying in the heat on her log and she always eats her veggies until now

shes still quite hyper when i take her out of the cage

I don't know what to say. Maybe she is going through a lazy stage.
Did you try lowering the temps to see if it was too high?
Some dragons do prefer their basking spots closer to 95* than 100*.

It sounds like a shed may be coming on. Sometimes they react differently to the sheds and can get moody. I'd keep the baths coming and have an eye out for signs of a shed starting up.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try lowering the temps a little down to around 95 she was cold this morning and wouldn't come out of her hut I took the hut out for a while and placed her on her log she was really active but kept glass surfing all day long I figured she was hungry since she wouldn't eat yesterday but she wouldn't eat any crickets

I took her out multiple times today and each time she was full of energy running up and down my arms and all over the couch I put her hut back in and put her back she kept glass surfing for a while then went back in the hut for the rest of the evening.

Her skin is getting a greyish color like it does when she's gonna shed but I'm not sure since she was kinda bright green earlier She didn't eat today or yesterday and she usually always eats crickets I left a few in her bowl since they can't escape it but she didn't eat them

She did poop again today though hopefully she is just gonna shed soon and is acting weird even know she didn't really act like this before

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
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.
