Pancaked, puffed beard & eyes half closed

The lady has been acting like this the last couple of days. Refusing all food. Doesn’t move. Just lays like this all day long. Is this normal? It has me very worried.

It just looks to me like she's relaxing and enjoying a bask. Nice bright beard tells me she isn't in distress and is probably content.

Oh okay. What would be warning signs I should look for? First time beardiw owner ha and I’m used to her being much more alert and upright, ready to run haha. Not completely laid out flat looking lethargic.

laying down but not in pancake mode might indicate more lethargy. Legs out and back flattened usually means relaxed/basking. Dark black beard is a big one that can indicate either distress or foul mood (not always bad on its own) and light colored beard (often white or sometimes with yellow or orange included) tends to mean good mood/content. Another thing to look for is sunken/flattened area above their eyes. That area should be arched up (like it is in your photo) rather than flattened with eyes often closed. They are small differences, but in time these mood indicators will start to stand out to you more.
