Still unsure if it’s brumation

So Banshee (2 year old female) is still acting odd. For 2 months now she’s been in a mood to go hide in her cave all day. So I would assume she’s brumating. However, she isn’t sleeping in there. She still hasn’t had a poop since her last meal, so I’ve tried pumpkin and bathing her, after which she goes to her bed outside the cave and spends the whole day and night there, but then by the next morning she’s in the cave again. This has happened twice now.

Her eyes are bright and color is good. Some appetite as she was eager for the pumpkins baby food.

Her enclosure is 36x24x24.
Reptisun 10.0 t5 HO ( replaced 2 weeks ago)
Cool side is 80F. Basking is 95F.
Humidity is 30%.
Repticarpet flooring.
Last meal besides the pumpkin was 10 butterworms with calcium (almost a week ago).

Any idea why she’d be hiding but stay awake? I know it’s not too hot.

It's just one of the many phases that are similar to but not really brumation. Here basking temp. could be raised a bit but I don't think it has anything at all to do with her behavior. What is her weight + length ? Always include that in your inquiry. Has she had the same type of lighting or is anything new ? Post pics of Banshee + her set up, although I'm sure it's fine. Here's how to post pics :

She’s 448g and 15 inches long with the tip of her tail missing.

Her basking temp used to be 105f. But she didn’t like it. I kept moving it lower and lower until she was comfortable. 95f was it.

She's a very big girl so she's fine doing what she's doing. They go through these phases + then come back around when they're ready. I'm sure she's fine :)
BTW, what other insects d you feed her ? Butterworms are a bit on the fatty side so as long as you have a rotation of different ones it's fine.

When you say her "Basking Temp" is 95 degrees, and used to be 105 degrees but she didn't like it, is this the temperature you are reading on a Stick-On Thermometer that is located within the Hot SIde of her tank?

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
