Hello everyone, I have had my beardie Nero for about 4 months and I believe he was about a half month old when I got him from an online breeder. Since the weather started getting cold in Virginia he has slowed down a bit. He goes in his hide sometimes during the day but usually comes back out to bask. He has been going to sleep a few hours earlier than normal (at about 6:00 instead of 8:00). The last few days he has only eaten about 5 roaches when he normally ate about 20-25. He is about to undergo another shed so this might have something to do with it. However, he has never changed much during previous sheds.
Nero as been under a reptisun 10.0 tube his whole life with basking temps around 100-105 F in a 40 gallon tank. I use a heat emitter to keep him warm on cold nights. His diet has consisted of reptiworms, dubia roaches, and occasional mealworms (I feed these rarely but he has never had any digestion problems or impaction). He also likes mustard greens. I dust calcium and vitamins regularly. He is nearly 15" long and I last weighed him at 160 grams about a month ago. My first dragon died after only a few months, I believe he had adenovirus. He was a petsmart dragon so he was never very healthy. This makes me quite cautious and I am wondering if there is anything I should be worried about with Nero? Thanks
Here is a picture I took on Christmas day with his new leash:
