My Beardie is not acting "normal"

Beardie name(s)
Drogon
For him...
Not sure how old he is, but we recently had a cold snap here. Winter in Florida. Dragons night Temps shipped to 65°-68° Readme, nothing too concerning, and he basked and gapped on his hammock, occasionally dropping to his cool zone... sometimes for lengths of time i thought was too long, so I'd return him to his basking spot and he'd feel cold when it's move him.
He is eating, but minimally, and only dedicates if I put him in the sink in warm water.
But what's really odd and out of character for him is he's started head bobbing a LOT. And his throat is black much more than EVER before.
Nothing has changed externally for him.

The head bobbing is a mating thing - and hes sporting a black beard - is there another female or dragon in the house that he can see? the not eating could be associated w/ the mating behavior -- what kind of UVB are you using coil or a long tube fixture ? what are his surface basking temps and how are you getting them? Stick ons are inaccurate

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
