She was in that state because I thought she was in brumation because it was that time of year and she would just sleep all day for weeks. The second time it was from dehydration, malnutrition, and MBD. I only realized the first time that she was dying because she was unresponsive to being put in a bath and being tilted backwards. She got a little better after the Reptaboost, but then I noticed that her arm was super swollen. She was “fine”, and then the next day she would only respond when I put her on her back and it was only a gentle twitching movement. I rushed her to the emergency vet. I should have brought her sooner, but my mom said that I should wait and see how she does (little did I know my mom hates bringing animals to the vet, even our dog unless it’s for vaccs, nails, or his annual exam).
She has a reptisun 10.0 22” and a basking bulb (regular bulb, not one of the new coiled ones). I have had her for 2 years. Her story is on this post: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=248814
<<< is that the fat T8 tube or a skinny T5HO tube ?
Just want to help you check this is set up optimally for her .
<<< how far from the basking spot ?
I used to have her UVB about 20” away, but I have now moved it closer so that it is in the correct range.
Her basking spot is 98-99 degrees and her cool side is around 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit.

The only thing that I can think of is she might have parasites --- it does effect their eating - I would call your vet ask them if you can drop off a fecal sample for parasites and go from there--- my reptile vet let me do that it was $30 --- I then took him in for a check up--- alot of people on the forum have ceramic tile- that is what is in my tank --- but I also have a lot of decor that he climbs on --- and a blanket in his cave/ platform

She has the t8, and it is about 9 inches from her basking spot.
