So I have a 9-10 month old beardie who over the last week has gotten kinda lethargic and not wanting to really bask, he’s been hiding in the shade and cooler side of his enclosure. His poop has been somewhat runny, although I know he’s eating, maybe not as much as he would. I’m just a bit worried and can seem to find a what I should do. I see things all over the Internet about what MIGHT be going on but not any solutions so maybe someone here can help?

I usually never put his food like that but since he’s not wanting to move from the corner I put down a carpet and veggies so he can eat without having to do much. But I’m conpletely at a loss for what’s wrong with him. This is our first beardie and I thought I’d had been doin good. I try really really hard to make sure he always has everything he needs. I thought maybe he’s just a little sick but then I thought maybe he has some kinda parasite cuz his poop last 3 poops has been runny.

As far as food he’s been getting crickets, Horn worms, super worms, collard greens, occasionally maybe some squash, bell peppers...

He’s always been somewhat mellow/lazy but I can tell something is wrong for sure. He’s NEVER not enjoyed sitting on his log or rock and usually basks majority of the day but last like 4-5 days now he’s been either curled up in the corner under hammock or under His log. SUPER WORRIED. My daughter is too this is our only family “pet” if u will but he’s more family than pet.

Yeah I have one good basking light, I just assumed when I upgraded to the bigger tank I would need to go from one to two. The tank is in a room with an A/C unit and it seems with one bulb it has a harder time staying above even 90. But yes I totally agree I need to buy the flat long UVB light. I think imma try to go get one today or tomorrow. I’ve been meaning to but My wife has gone last couple times to store and for some reason doesn’t want to get one without me. Anyways irrelevant. That I will hopefully get changed but update it seems like he’s fully recovered. After 2-3 really bad poops, he took another one about an hour ago that had some water in it but was actually solid. Then he decided to finally bask and now he’s running around like nothing was wrong so I’m hoping it was just maybe something he ate. Also I had given him a bath the day before this happened I was wondering if that might have something to do with it. Maybe he got too much water in his system or something???
