Eating Strangely

My beardie seems to be doing nothing lately. He lays around on his log and does nothing. He hasn't been eating his superworms and will barely eat any greens. Any suggestions?

How old is he? Could be brumation or a partial brumation. My 1 year old stopped eating and moving much around his tank last month when the temps outside were getting below zero. He did this for about 2 or 3 weeks and now he's back to normal, running around giving us headaches!

It's basically a hibernation. They can go to sleep for days, weeks or even months. I haven't experienced a full brumation with my two yet. They just go through periods where they get really sleepy and slow down.

What kind of lights do you have? I used to find when my UVB bulb was due to be replaced that Dexter would get sluggish.
