I would drop water on his nose and see if he will lick -- you can watch his poops for dehydration - urate should be white formed and moist if its crusty looking or dried out hes dehydrated - poop should be dark and formed and moist
Thankyou for that. I'll drip some on his nose with my fingers just to see how he responds to it.

So update, I moved the uvb so it goes across the top as yours was pictured, right on top of his basking area. I also got a medicine dropper to help give him water.
You know what! He moved, when I got home from the store he was under his log. First time I've ever seen him there!
I moved his log and he was just chilling lounged out. I used the dropper and gave him some water. At first he was like "what is going on?!" And moved away, and then he kicked his nose, once he realized it was water, he licked and I kept dropping water until he stopped.
I'd say this is definitely progress in the right direction! Thankyou all for your help. I do plan to try to give him a lil more water before I turn his lights out, and several times during the day over the next few days to see how he progresses.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
