The past two days I have noticed that my five year old bearded dragon, Zeus, has become quite lazy. He has been in a sleeping position away from his basking spot, but isn't actually sleeping.
I thought he could be brumating, but don't bearded dragons only brumate when there is a drop in temperatures? My room consistantly stays the same temperature and never changes, so this shouldn't cause him to brumate. He also hangs out under his hammock rather than on top of it.
He eats like a monster, as usual still. Is there anything wrong with him? I'll list my husbandry below since you'll most likely ask about lighting.
Enclosure - 40 gal.
Basking Bulb - 100 W Repti Basking Bulb -- basking spot reaches 95-100 degrees -- bulb placed 6" above the dragon
UVB Light - ReptiSun T10 5.0 Linear -- Placed 12" above the dragon
Substrate - Non-adhesive Shelf Liner
Diet & Feeding Information
Staple - Superworms & Dubias on occasion
Treats - Hornworms
Salad - Collard greens, mustard greens, carrots, red pepper, blueberries, & grapes. Sometimes this switches.
Getting him to eat salads is very hard, he picks the bugs I put on top of it out and never actually eats his salad half of the time.
