I never feed mealworms. You should try silkworms. They are soft bodied and will not leave undigested parts. The important thing though is to provide a variety of food. So you should keep at least 2 kinds of live food.

Is it possible that she may be gravid? How long is she? How much does she weigh?

I'd really recheck your setup too. Make sure the basking spot is 105-110 with a temp. gun or digital thermometer with a separate probe. The background temp. on the hot side should be high eighties or low nineties. The cool side should be 75 - 80. I think that the cave being 70 seems too low. Are your lights on 14 and off 10? What are you using for UVB? Are you supplementing the food? Are you putting greens in every day?

You should post a picture of your setup. The 2 main reasons a healthy dragon stops eating are Brumation and ready to lay eggs.
