She looks healthy, can u please go over ur lighting, ik uve done this a hundred times, it’ll help the ones coming into the conversation, now off the bat the only things i see that are cause for concern is: her skin looks a little wrinkley (she may be thirtsy) and her on her belly? , does she get on all fours? Or does she kinda drag herself around? She may have a slight case of mbd, her eyes looks good and alert, her nails are nice and short, other than i mentioned she looks okay,

She gets on all fours and drags herself, a mix of both for walking. She drinks everyday, so I don't know what could be going on with her skin.. And yes, I take care to her nails - ^^

They do that if shed is coming on --- my boys do it especially if there is loose skin they want off

Maybe its just the picture, or how she was positioned, is she eating?

Yeah, but she is actually pretty wrinkly
Thats usually a sign of dehydration , does she drink from the water dish? Most dragons dont drink standing water, if she doesn’t get in it or do anything with it, id just remove it, its adding unnecessary humidity..

She loves to sit and drink and be around it, so I don't know what it could be.

Hmm, can u weigh her? Get a kitchen scale set it to grams (idk if ive asked u to do this) a normal female should be between 300-450 (could be heavier is shes gravid) however there are larger bearded dragons, like mine (i think she has “german giant” in her (she’s definitely not over weight) thats good she enjoys water, can u tell us a little bit how you came to get her? If she had a previous owner, she could of layed eggs before you got her and thats why she may have a little extra skin, also older dragons get wrinkles , how old is she?

If you can make us a short video of her moving around and put it on YouTube and link it, we can further assess her, if you so wish.

She's 8, and yeah she lays eggs but I don't think recently. I got her off of craigslist and I can email the people still if needed. I will weigh her soon :D

I had a 20 yr old lady,
And Rusty is almost 16
If your worried about hydration get some horn worms, they are full of water, but she has nice thick tail she looks good

This was right after her last brumation, she was 20 and it was long one,
She had bad eyesight and no front legs, but she lived along happy life ❤️
