Sleepy head~

[VogueStar]

So my Beauregard has been rather listless and lethargic lately. He is been on top of his rocks just chilling with his eyes closed.. He seems to be sleeping often or perhaps resting his eyes. He does not seem as active as he is normally & he also has a little to no appetite! I dont know what to think! Is he trying to hibernate :arrow: ...in the middle of summer? Could there be another reason he is acting so tired? :? Iam really worried! :shock:

His castle is 53' long by 25' deep and 29' tall
He has a 48'>10.0 uvb
75watt tight beam
repti-carpet & Flagstone
his diet (when he will eat is) veggies, dusted (3x week) mealworms and crickets
any other stats ask away!

What is the brand of the 10.0 UVB, how old is it and what is the distance of it to your beardie when he lays on his basking spot? What are the tank temps and what type of thermometer are you using? How long has he been acting this way? When did he have his last poop and was it more runny and/or smellier than usual?

How old is he? Is he in view of any other beardies?

I would say that it is not brumation, not in the summertime so something else has to be going on.

The light is 10.0 repti glo UVB Exo Terra and its fairly new only a month or so. The light is 20inches away from the floor of his cage, and any where from 10-15 in his basking areas. I use a digital thermometer by Zoo Med , and its 95-102 in his basking area and 75 - 78 on the cool side. I live in AZ so its hot in my house. His been acting like this for about 2weeks ..I let him breed with my female May 16 .After they were separated he was really showing off as males do, for a couple weeks ( as I mention later he could still see her at this point). Then he just kinda stopped doing anything. He still explores his cage and eats fairly often but for the most part he doesn't do much. Just sits there with his eyes closed and seems really lethargic. His last poop was Sat. it seemed normal like his usual. He is approx. 4- 4 and half years old. He was in slight view of his female (after they breed) but I caught on to that and moved her cage out of his sight. He is not currently in sight of any others.
I'm wondering maybe all this ca-motion has got him a little upset/confused... IDK. Any suggestions are appreciated!!
