I am very worried about our baby dragon. See how she is laying there, that is not right, correct? She should be holding her upper body up with more energy correct?

We have had her about 7 weeks, she's been doing excellent until the last 7-10 days. I think she is 15 weeks, the petstore told us about 8 weeks old when we got her.

The only change I can think of is that she started eating collard greens. Prior to that I was offering either collard or mustard greens but she wasn't actually eating them. Although she has started eating salad it hasn't been a ton, just a small dish. I know her diet shouldn't be primarily salad at this age.

Also she is kept at our preschool, so I'm going to go in tonight and make SURE that her light is turning off at night as it should. That's the only other thing I could think of is if her lights aren't working on the timer correctly and are wearing her out/screwing her up.

Earlier this week after acting funny for a day or so, she shed a little off her tail.

Any other thoughts?

Overall she's been an active happy little dragon. She dances all around the cage to show us she's hungry if we haven't fed her yet. Eats 10-20 small crickets per feeding.

From the picture she just looks like she is basking it's good that her head is up and looking alert.. please fill me in on her enclosure, the lighting, especially the temps in the 3 areas.. what her poop/urates look like.. that sort of thing, then maybe we can help better..
Mine likes to lay like that while basking I like to call it her sexy leg pose :) they do things like that to stretch their scales in prep for a shed.. if she's eating, pooping she should be ok.. As babies they are a bit more fragile but still pretty hardy..

Mine lays down while basking and is the same age as yours. He likes laying his back legs flat like that too
