Shedding

[Twinkie13]

my guy has slowed down tremendously. He isn't a year yet, about 18 inches.
Makes a year in early December.
Seemed like he LIVED in shed....I expected a slow down, but boy has it slowed.
Still super healthy....everything

Normal?

Check your UVB and make sure that it doesn't need to be changed. Since the weather is changing he could be going into a sort of brumation. When they are young they sometimes do like a partial brumation where they just test the waters.

UVB is newish

Do they just slow down this much?

They do get pretty lazy. Mine used to sit on their hammock all day long with their eyes half closed but then perk up when I took them out and let them run around the house. 18" is nearing an adult length so I think it's possible he's slowing down and just testing this whole brumation thing.
