ive noticed that my beardie has been alot lazier since the start of this month. she still has a good appetite and is still eating and pooping but shes very lazy... ive also noticed noticed that she has started gaping more. could she be brumating???

Is she digging in the tank or just out

only outside, unless in her cave but she does that like all the time

How old is she and has she ever laid eggs before--- shes not brumating- the gaping is usually adjusting body temp

shes almost 3, and has never laid eggs

Ok well I am not sure what's going on - could be just the weather but I would definitely keep an eye out for her digging behavior - could be a sign of egg laying

I agree with Karrieree, 2 1/2 to 3 is about when you can expect them to start producing eggs. Make sure she is getting calcium just in case.
