Is this brumation or a problem?

I have a snow corn which I got in September. She has been doing great; eating regularly, shedding great, growing well, etc until recently. In the last 3 weeks, when we take her out of her cage she appears disoriented. She also won't eat; I've tried her usual size of fuzzies 3 different times, as well as trying a couple of pinkies (these are all f/t, which she has never hesitated at in the past).


The only thing that I can pinpoint which happened a few days before the change in behaviour is that my roomate dropped her from about a height of 2 feet (onto carpet), and in the same night she escaped for about 15 minutes and was found under a recliner. I'm afraid that either the fall hurt her, or that when we moved the recliner to remove her it rocked a bit and crushed something, although we were very careful to try to prevent it from moving, and we didn't think it had moved.

She doesn't appear to be losing condition despite her refusal to eat. Should I be alarmed?
 
The not eating thing doesn't bother me as much as it being disoriented. I would take it to see a good reptile vet. If it is a neurological problem, then the longer you wait the worse it may get.
