Hi, my bearded dragon LENNY is sick. I have had her for 3 years and I know how weird they can act in hibernation. A couple of days ago she ws very unresponsive and wouldn't move her legs. She was a little hard to the touch on one side. She has since firmed up. She doesn't smell. I just cannot tell if she is even still alive. Would rigormortous have set in by now, and she would be hard?

Eep. Has she opened her eyes and looked at you, or responded in any way to noise or touch?
Depending on conditions, rigormortis usually sets in within 72 hours.
