hi, im not a expert or nothing, but it could be brumation

or parisites because they have the same symptoms, you could get a stool sample tested to make sure its just brumation.

The only way to see if its actual brumation is to go over your tank set up so we can rule out lighting issues --- please post a pic of your tank and lighting and we can go from there -- if its parasites poop is going to have a smell that will drive you from the room it will be funny w/ no form to it ---

Hi there,

How old is your dragon? Young dragons don't brumate. So you can cross that off the list unless your dragon is near full size.

How long have you had your dragon?

hello! my dragon is a juvenile!
i’m really worried about him, it’s only been 3 days with him acting like this but i’m still really concerned...
i’ve had him for just over a week!

Juvenile meaning he's 6 months-- too young to brumate-- please post pics of tank and lighting
