Answer
Whenever a reptile changes its behavior and becomes lethargic, this is a sign of a health issue. You will need to take her to a veterinarian who has reptile experience, and do so promptly. (Reptiles hide their illness to avoid attracting attention from predators, or more dominant animals, so by the time they show signs of illness, they're usually very ill).

There are a wide variety of potential ailments that could be causing the very generic symptoms you're seeing, so a vet is the only option.
