Shedding or something else?

Hi there ! So little Saphira just shed her tail and only parts of her mouth and under her mouth the last couple days and its probably been only a couple weeks from her last shed. But during the last couple of days she seems to be a bit sleepy is this just part of her shedding process? She sits under her UVB light (ReptiSun 10.0 ) and shes not sitting directly under her heat bulb but i want to believe the heat is still reaching her because she only darkens just a little bit so the her stress marks show little to none. I often catch her with her eyes closed or just one eye closed i heard that the lighting could be a problem? Her basking bulb is a 75 watt Repti Basking Spot lamp from Zoo Med. Should i replace her basking light with a regular bright lightbulb( Ive heard the ones from walmart work well) Her appetite this morning was great she ate her regular amount of crickets (about 15) but when i went to feed her dinner she ate 3 crickets and so i tried her reptiworms and she ate about 5-8 of those. She'll usually eat another 15 of the crickets at night time. She had pooped once this morning in her bath a couple hours after eating which looked normal (Log shaped normal beardie poop and with white urate which was not to solid not to runny, i have no better way to explain the urate) but i took her out of her terrarium and she would run around and be more active on the bed but she she pooped or well it looked more as if it were just a pee. the urate came out a little on the watery side/ runny side but there was a very small brown part that looked like just a light brownish liquid no bigger then a couple of centimeters. and probably an hour later she went again no brown liquid but just a white liquid urate. is there anything i should be worried about? I dont want to stress myself over this but Im still a little worried.

Hi there.....how old + big is she ? it doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary. Sometimes they have to poo a little more at different times of the day.....may have just been from extra stimulation from being out to roam. And they do sometimes close their eyes while basking. She's probably fine.

Shes 7.5 inches but i got her from a pet store so im guessing shes about 3-4 months old being as i already have had her for a month.
But thank you for replying. It helps calm my nerves so much. Im a first time beardie mommy and it sure does scare me, like the first time she eye bulged but im glad i read something about that before hand. :study: :study:

I'm having a similar problem

Agni hasn't shed in nearly a month and a half, although I have caught him rubbing his head on stuff many times.

he had a few flakes of shed come off his mount ridges and the tip of his chin, but that's it

his skin doesn't look or feel waxy like a normal shed either. his appetite has shrunk to nearly non-exsistence . he's still active and alert though, and his parasite check came back clean.

I've been giving him daily baths, but he wont shed, and he wont eat

Thats a cute name for your beardie!
But i have another question again :cry: :cry:
Today is my brothers birthday so i havent been home much and im still seeing her normal sized poop and then to two smaller ones. She hasnt been out running around my room today so could she just be a poopy lizard? She didnt start pooping 3 times a day until a few days ago.

this is pretty much how she'll sit for most of the day unless i take her out to roam in the room. She opens her eyes when i come near the cage and every now and then. And now im seeing stress marks but im guessing shes just trying to warm up because the heat lamp is just a little bit away from her but she is sitting under her UVB right now.

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. 😔
