Your dragon could be experiencing constipation, which basically makes it extremely hard ( and sometimes painful ) for anything (including beardies, etc.) to go to the washroom. I know applesauce with a drop of extra virgin olive oil should help.
I am not sure what signs or symptoms of Brumation are, all I know is that constipation haults beardies from going to the bathroom, and like i said, applesauce and a drop of extra virgin olive oil easily clears up a dragons constipation.
Here is a good laxative: canned pumpkin...not the pumpkin pie filling...just ordinary canned pumpkin with no sugar. That's what the vet used to make the ferrets go to the bathroom after eating the eraser. It works wonder. I know a lot of other people who also recommend canned pumpkin on the iguana forum and on Kingsnake. Winter squash has a lot of fiber.
In the mean time I would go ahead and soak him in luke warm water...not hot...just warm to the touch. I have found most lizards will poo in the warm water...and frogs, too.
Since it is getting quite cold in Alaska now and your days are much shorter already, he could be starting brumation. You need to try to get him to poop a time or two before he goes to his long winter's nap. Try the the apple sauce,or pumpkin. Of course a bath is always a good option. Good luck.
Update: YEA, Rex finally took a HUGE poop today in his bath. He ate 2 med hormworms and looks really alert today. I am going to try some pumpkin on him today. Thanks for the advice LJean!
i gave bath and gave applesauce(they didnt have pumpkin) and he took a big poooy earlyer thanks for the advice he never goes in the tub but as sooon as i put him back in his tank he went
