Hi, I recently got a bearded dragon off craigslist , he is about 11 months, he was very active when he first got here but after he settled into his new 75 gallon tank, he ate two mealworms, put himself into the corner farthest from the lights and heat rock and went to sleep. He opens his eyes and shifts around a bit, but other than that, he's ignored the crickets I put in this morning and seems very lathergic. He did take a long soak yesterday before going to sleep and seemed to have a rather large bowl movement in his water. I'm still learning about these reptiles as he is my first one, can you tell me if it is normal for them to be sleepy and move very little after either having a large bowel moment or after moving to a new tank and home like maybe it's stresss related? I was also told it is common for baby dragons in their first year to sleep a lot. Would it be helpful to take him outside into the yard during the day to get some natural UV rays?
