Possible brumation or not?

So I have had jarvan(formerly known as elise due to sexing) since september. He was very active in chasing down them pesky crickets.
Was estimated @ 2-3 months when I got h he's anywhere from 6-9 months old, is that too young even for brum?

But as most say, he now is showing little to no interest in chasing them, so unless they run up beside him, he will make no attempt at chasing them. He also has stopped pooping daily and is on more of a 3 day cycle now.
I just recently got supers, and he will go after them however if I put them farther away from him.
He does not appear to be losing any weight during the past few weeks he is less interested/eating less. He also has been going to bed a lot earlier than lights out recently. One day he went to bed @ 6ish, my lights are on from 7-9.30

Also he has gotten slightly darker on his back then before. Not sure the cause of this.

6-9 months really is too young to brumate in my experience.

Can you go over your setup with us? Often improper husbandry will lead to signs of brumation, when really it's just the dragon being sickly or stressed or not happy with his current living conditions.

Mainly, if you could go over what uvb bulb you have,
What bulb are you using for a basking bulb
What are the temperatures in your tank (basking SURFACE, hot side, and cool side) and how are you measuring them
What does the daily diet look like
And lastly how often has your dragon been pooing.

Answering all those questions in full will better help us rule out a possible husbandry issue.

Reptisun 10.0 linear tube - 5 months old(changing next month)
Basking bulb by zoomed, and clear incandescent on cool side.
Basking spot is 100-105 usually. Hot side is 90s-85 range.
Cool side is 85- range
Measured with a therm w/probe on the spots.

Daily diet is crickets 2x a day, dusted with calc 5x a week and multi 2x.
Gets daily collard greens and lately peppers, red yellow orange. Seems to not want to eat greens any more and just picks out the peppers.. Smart bugger

Lately he has been pooping every 3 days. With baths or not he seems to wait 3 days now

He's also been going to bed really early some days. A few days I've came home to feed him @ 7ish and he's tucked into his cave trying to sleep or out in the open with his eyes closed. So I just let him sleep instead of waking him to give him his second meal
Don't know if that means anything either.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
