Lilly not under Basking Spot

[Bianca Brown]

Well I have noticed that a few Days now Lilly always moves away from her Basking Spot through out the Day.
When I come home from Work she is laying in the Corner and when I pick her up she is cold. So I put her under the Basking Light and stays there for a while then she moves again.
She eats very well I don't have a trouble there. She is now 11 Month old and she is 17 inch long and is 411g
She has a UVB strip light Reptisun 10.0 across the whole tank and a Zoo Med 150W Repti Basking Bulp.
The basking spot has a temp of 102f and the cold said is at 77f and worm said 85f.
She is in a 55gallon Tank by herself.
I'm in Canada and it's still summer and pretty worm so I don't think she will go into Brummation or am I wrong.
She always has what looks to me like sleepy Eyes.

At that age could she be started puberty? I think they can start being gravid at a year. Everything else seems fine and nothing has changed, right? Have you added anything new to her tank? Any chemicals or fumes in the room lately?

Nothing has changed and I have not put anything new in her tank and no chemicals or fumes. I keep that away from her. I'm not to sure when they would start puberty and what the behavior would be.

I'm not sure when they start either, all I know is I was told at a year to start looking for them to be gravid (eggs). So I'm guessing Lilly could be getting to that stage. Maybe try to Google puberty behavior in females and see what you can find.

Sorry I'm not much help but until someone else can help that's all I can think of. I really am sorry.
To me it sounds like you are doing everything right and Lilly's set up sounds perfect so there's not anything that stands out to me.
I do hope Lilly gets better fast. Oh one thing that just came to mind, how old are your bulbs? I do know that after 6 months they need to be replaced, even if they are still working. They don't produce enough UVA/UVB. It's like the bulb gets weaker. Just a thought.
Sorry I can't help more. Give Lilly cuddles from me.
Sending you lots of prayers!!

Thank you anyways for your replays. Both bulb basking and UVB was replaced 4 weeks ago.

It's possible that she is just not needing that temp, maybe she is wanting a cool down for a bit.. I've been hearing of quite a few dragons one of mine included that are just chillin' out not doing much, not coming out of her hide. So it could be nothing. Keep an eye on her and do your "trouble shooting" or what I call it now as "dragon shooting".. Temps, ages of bulbs, watch weight loss/gain that's alarming, in general good husbandry checks.

After we cuddled last night and when I put her back I put her on her basking spot and when I came back in the morning and the lights been on for 1 hrs she was back in the corner with her sleepy eyes. She was chasing her Food this morning then I put her on the basking spot and she moved back in the corner.
Replaces both lights about 4 weeks ago so there are all good. Her weight is the same.

Do you have a temp gun? How do you check your temps?

Just thinking maybe it's too hot for her maybe your temps are off a bit.

Yes I use the temp gun. I thought as well that it is maybe a bit to hot so I lowered the basking spot this morning and now I have 98/99f but after the had her breakfast and I put her on the basking spot she moved back to the corner

Dang! Have you been able to look up any puberty information? I belong to another reptile forum, people there will answer questions quicker than here. I can give you the link or I can ask them for you? I know there's a lady there that rescues beardies she has 5-6 dragons and can help you better than me. So let me know which way you want to do it. I would love for you to join and that way you can be a part of our community.

Yes please send me the link. I have looked into it for hours but there is always so much mixed information. So I'm not sure what is right or not

Try this and if this doesn't work let me know.

I'm msw0rld over there too. Coolmoon is the one that has all the rescues. They live in Russia and Greece so you have to remember time difference but they will help

If you say you are a friend of Bobbi (that's me) and Sir Wallace - they gave my bearded dragon a royal title over there you might get more help from coolmoon and dimzel. You need to introduce yourself in the new member section and just say you are a friend of mine. If you want.
