Hiding under blanket?

[Kibbleznbitzz]

Tweak normally is either under his lamp or glass dancing to get out. But yesterday or the day before he hid under his rug and hasn't come out since, I lifted it up and he looked dead! His eye's were barely open and he wasn't moving, i poked him and he shot me a dirty look so i thought maybe he was just sleepy. Idk what to do or what to think of this behaviour, Doobie(my female) has hidden under her blanket at night and i've had to wake her up in the mornin but never for this long. Should I be worried?

How is your beardie doing? Is he still hiding? How is his behavior?
Could you go over your beardies set up with us? It might help to understand what he might be hiding from.
Type and Brand of UVB?
How close can he get to the UVB?
Type and Watt basking bulb?
What are the basking and coolside temps?
What are you measuring temps with? Digital/Probe thermometer, dial, stick-on, temp gun?

Well I took him out from under his rug and gave him a bath and let him sit outside with me and he seemed fine. Then fed him and he ate fine, He stayed out for the rest of that night but then he went back under the rug the next day. It's 76 on the cool side and 104 on the hot. He can get about 10 inches from the uvb I can lower it if it needs to be. He has a Zoo med 100w basking spot lamp, and i'm not sure about the uvb one. Also i'm not sure if this helps or not but he hides under the rug on the cool side. I've heard that at some point they sleep for a long time and it's called brumation or something like that.. Could that be it?

Unless you are in another part of the country, I doubt that he is trying to brumate at this time of year.
Usually when a beardie hides and is not basking, it's one of two reasons. Either the basking temps are too high or the uvb light is bothering them. Could you tell me what type of uvb you are using. Is it a fluorescent tube, coil, compact or mvb? You should be able to look at the bulb and find a brand/watt printed on it.
How old is your beardie? The 104 temps might be too high, which would cause him to not bask. What are you taking the temps with? Digital/w probe thermometer, dial, stick-on or temp gun?

He's about 2 and a half to 3 years old. And Now he's arm waving... I have a stick on themometer and a normal themometer, not the best things but it's all i have right now. His uvb is a Zoomed 5.0 uvb floresent compact.
