And to add to that sorry was busy what's your UVB NO Coil. How big is the food your feeding her? How are her temps? What size cage is she in? If she really is constipated you can give her a warm bath and massage her belly alittle and let her soak in the water for like 20 to 30 minutes to see if she passes the blockage

Please feed the dragon some canned pumpkin- no spices in it plain- water it down a little so its like a semi thick soup so it will push things along --- keep feeding till she poops--- the back legs are probably not working because of the impaction --- what are the dragons basking temps and how are they being taken NO stick ons please a digital probe thermometer w/ the probe placed on the spot where she sits for basking -- for a adult/juvie dragon they should be 95-100 for a baby 105-110--- UVB you should be a long tube fixture for 40+ gallon tank a Zoo Med --- a Arcadia Pro T5 w/ 12% bulb or a Sunblaster Nano Tech this comes w/ a good bulb -- if any of this is not being used please get it ASAP---- a dragons health is crucial to these things I have posted -- it controls the overall health and behavior of the dragon --- if you need links to any of the things mentioned let me know I will post them for you--
What size insects are being fed? Nothing bigger than the space between the eyes length wise --- what kind of substrate is the dragon on ------------ please No loose substrate it can cause impaction and it harbors bacteria --

Please get rid of the red bulb-- it causes eye damage and disrupts sleep-- your dragon needs cool and dark temps at night 65-75 you can use stick ons for ambient- you need 2 digital probe thermometers for actual basking temps 95-100--please get rid of the coil uvb they are no good- please get what I posted above ASAP
