Thanks for the post; I have a shipment of new bulbs coming in to give her fresh UVA & UVB lighting. Currently, the thermometers read 105 in the hot side / 85 in the cool side (and even cooler than that in her cave, which is on the cool side). I might try to adjust the lighting a bit so that it's a little warmer in her cave.

Yeah, I doubt that she's carrying eggs because she's lost quite a bit of weight, but it wouldn't hurt to put the nest box in there.....who knows, the change in scenery might get her to snap out of brumation.

If new bulbs, altered lighting regime, and the nest box do not work then I'll take her stool sample to the vet. I have my doubts about parasites / coccidia also because she's very alert and her stool is normal (in coloration, consistency, and odor).
