Beardie acting weird... is he sick

[Brilynnpearson]

A couple of days ago, I noticed he was just laying on the cold side of his tank all day. Then last night after I gave him a bath and when I took him out I noticed his beard was huge and droopy. It wasn’t black and he didn’t seem to be spooked or mad so I dried him off and put him on the heating pad to see if it would fix but then he opened his mouth wide for a sec and closed it again. This is something he does occasionally so I didn’t think much of it but thought I should put that. Then, he kept moving his beard (still don’t know if that’s normal but oh well) I put him back in the tank and fed him and turned on his night light and he didn’t eat. This morning, I switched his day light on and gave him three crickets and he didn’t seem to want them. Oh and his beard is still droopy and he’s in the same spot I put him in last night. Please let me know if you can help! Sorry this doesn’t make much sense.. I wrote it fast

I don't know about the behavior you're talking about. But dragons do not require any type of light at night. It disturbs their sleep cycle they, like it cool and dark . The only time you will need heat at night is if the temperature in your house drops below 65 degrees
