Hasn't moved?!

[Teage29]

Hi, I had finally gotten a bearded dragon about 2 months ago and he has been great. I'm still learning and finding out i need more that what I have, like a temp gun and stuff like that. But my beardie(Ace) hasn't really moved from his corner in a few days. I dont know exact temps but his overall tank temp is 80-85, basking spot from 100-110. He normally basks all day and whem he wants to be taken out he will come over to the from of his tank. He has been going to the bathroom normally. He is 5 years old and is 18 inches almost to the exact. He loves crickets and super worms, gets veggies daily and berries a few times a week as a treat. He would be active when i take him out but also lately he hasn't been active. Any tips would be helpful!

Hi. Can you be specific about the set up? Do you use a uvb light? If so what kind? Coil/compact or tube and what brand?

I do use a UVB, its a tube but i dont know the brand because the person who I got him didnt tell me, I am going to replace it in a month when I get more money. She said she got it from the local pet store and i know they only carry the exo terra, zoo med and one other brand i cant think of at the moment for lights. He is in a 40 gallon breeder tank. He is on substrate called sand chips but he has been fine on it and has been on it for years. I am planning on putting half tile around christmas because I'm going to redo his tank and it would be a great time. Now yesterday i gave him a bath and when i put him back he went to the other corner and slept for the rest of day and that was around 3:30. Hi lights go off around 8:40. I dont understand why all he does now is sleep and he hasn't basked in a few days. And he doesn't have parasites because he was taken to the vet when I first got him and he got a clean bill of health.

He maybe going through burmation.

Ok is there anything that I have to do? How much should he be fed? How long will it last and can i still take him out and spend time with him?
