Thanks for answering. He definitely needs a bright white basking light. You want him to bask under the the basking light with the
uvb light with it. If you are using a che for basking those are for night.
The uvb is getting to him from his basking and it's a orange ish his light
<<< coloured basking bulbs are a not suitable , bearded dragons require nice bright COLORLESS incandescent basking bulbs or MVBs.
I recommend ditching the coloured bulb and replacing with a MVB or par38 colorless incandescent spotglobe.
Can you put up a photo of his tank. Often things jump right out as being likely causes of problems or an issue that needs to be fixed.
Also:
what is his feeding schedule ? what are you feeding him (size bugs used ? vegs ? greens ?)
Less he eats the less poo he will create, and of cause he may not be pooing because he is impacted (this can be from the food, ingesting particulate substrate accidentially, even eating something he found on the floor or when outside, or a serious internal blockage caused by health problem).
I currently have two who are fed identically , but have drastically different metabolic rates and different toileting habits see

..... this may just be a consequence of his metabolism and diet.
