Tired Dragon

[ArgonxColdfire]

My dragon keeps running away from the basking lamp in his cage. he will dig a sort of nest in the sand and lay there and sleep for a couple of days. I place the night ceramic lamp over him at night. He gets kale or collards every day twice a day. I wasn't feeding him as many crickets as i should have and i was giving him meal worms every once and a while. the last time i gave him crickets (last night) i battered them with calcium. a local pet store told me that a calcium deficiency could be part of why he is so tired. could there be any other reason why?

How old is he or she.... depending on that it could be brumation or about to shed. Continue feeding fresh food

He is just about a year and a half.
It has gotten a bit colder around here.

Sounds like brumation

It should be hotter between 95-100 degrees... I am surprise he is eating if he is, normally if it’s not hot enough they don’t have a appetite
