Hello all! My 6 month old beardie, Draco, is a happy and healthy dragon! However, every once in a while he will have a spell in which he gets very lethargic. He will just lie in the corner flat on his stomach and not get on his perch or anything (very unusual for him.) I never let this go on for more than a day. I put him in a bath and he goes to the bathroom, then seems to feel much better afterwards. This just happened today, and after coming out of the bath he is perched and feeling great.
My question is: is he on the brink of getting impacted when this is occurring? Or is the bath/bowel movement just a coincidence? Could he be getting dehydrated. I have the right temps and lamps (not a coil), and use reptile target so no sand substrate. He eats crickets as his staple, sometimes superworms, turnip greens, and squash. I know he's healthy, but he just looks like he doesn't feel so good sometimes, and I want to help prevent that. Suggestions?
