It isn't brumation, he is still eating and basking, but he hasn't been moving almost at all for about a week. He sometimes refuses to eat his crickets and veggies. I'm not sure if it could be parasites or something. I have ruled out UVB and temperatures, so I know it isnt related to that.

Even though picking him up stresses him, you will likely need to get him out so you can see his
physical condition. We need to see his physical condition, too.
As Karrie requested, please let us know the type/brand of UVB too just so we can be sure it is all
correct.
Has his beard been black?

it might've been because of the semi-recent change in his substrate causing stress??
it used to be reptile carpet but we changed it to some terrarium tiles for easy cleanup
hes been more active since i installed the ceramic heater so it might've been because of the cold at night
i think this is what a tube fixture is??? this is the one im talking about that i have in there
unless you mean a long tube across the cage View attachment 76158
that is considered a coil bulb. they are inadequate and can cause health problems. karrieree is the best with lighting around here. work with her to get the long tube fixture you need. (a tube is a straight line bulb and spans 2/3 the length of the enclosure.)

i get it. i am one of those people that got taken by the sales people at petco and wound up with one of those same bulbs. well, the person i rescued sir henry from did anyway and i got that setup from her. luckily i found this forum and was able to get the help i needed to keep my little scaly love bug alive.

Please let me know when you get the uvb placement and distance will be determined by the screen on the tank-- coil uvb's are a health hazzard- long term use can result in death -
