My beardie wont eat or poop and wont come out.

My 13 month old male dragon has not pooped in a week stays in his shelter for the last 4 days and hasnt really eaten much. He has been very lethargic. His cage temps are 82 on cool side and 96 on basking side and his uv bulb is recent. Is he brumating or is it possibly something else?

How long have you had him in this enclosure? What are you feeding? Does he eat anything at all?

 

[Germ]

What part of the world are you in? What Season is it? I would up the temps 5-10*.

 

[Artyray]

He is in a 75 gallon tank. I feed him crickets and romaine lettuce and collard greens. he occasionally will eat a cricket or 2. He's been like this for almost a week and a half. Hes been in this enclosure for a year

Along with the other questions that the others have asked, what kind of substrate do you use?

I would raise the temps like suggested above & give a few warm baths to help stimulate a BM.

I would have him checked for parasites. Mine did this last October, (I thought maybe he was going into brumation) and when he refused more than one superworm (his favorite), I took him in and sure enough he had a parasite. It's not expensive or cumbersome treatment --three syringes of liquid that you squirt in its mouth every 7 days.
