not basking and very lethargic

[zackbeardieowner]

I have a male bearded dragon which in the past month has been staying in the cool end under his leaves which are hanging and dosent move i sometimes take him to the basking area but the next day il find him in the same place and position he's around 1.5 years old he is not eating and therefore not pooping and i can't do a faecal test on him i am really worried any tips ?

He could be brumating, sometimes dragons go into a hibernation-like state during the colder months. What type of UVB light are you using?

If is lights are right i agree i think it may be brumating i heard don't mess with them during that time period.

I would also like to add your temps are a bit low, it should be at about 100 degrees on the basking spot. And is the UVB bulb the Reptisun 10.0? If not you should certainly switch Lower temps and too weak of UVB output can also cause lethargy in dragons.

yes it is 10.0 ill switch to a higher wattage bulb
