Hey guys been a bit (new phone new number carrier etc) my Amber is slowing down considerably she at times won't come out of her hide for 2-3 days but will be alert at times.

Then at times will be out about 30m-2hrs after I turn on her lights she has little interest in basking under her lights but will sit in the middle ground kinda not on the cool side but not the hot side either.

Though soon as she sees I got crickets she will be up and alert and hungry my worry is if she isn't properly basking is it safe to feed her bugs? She does pick at her salad every few days but sometimes shows no sign of wanting her salad (and she's a GREAT salad eater)

She will bask here and there but not much she will warm up if I give her a bath but that only last maybe 20 mins or so.

Obviously she is slowing down she has been like this for the last month and a half or so should I just allow her to do her thing and give her bugs on bug day? (Friday/Saturday generally is her bug day probably why she's creeping out of her hide)

As long as she is healthy and pooping, I would just let her do her thing. Zen never did a full brumation, he always acted kind if like what your describing.

She's healthy and pooping but her pooping has slowed down since she's eating less and less she will go maybe once or twice a week or so rather than everyday and/or every other day.

They are getting smaller as well she pooped I wanna say Tuesday or Wednesday I'll see if she comes out or not and give her her bugs like I usually do on the weekends.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
