Beardie not looking so hot
cross post from oscarfish.com
I'm pretty sure there are a few people arouind here that keep bearded dragons. My brother's dragon is about a year & a half now, he's just now starting to slow down on eating cricket (which we know is a little late but normal when they are still presented). His absolute favourite is raspberries Smile.
Recently my dad & I have noticed that the beardie is not moving very often. He's spending much of his time sleeping on his heat pad and not much else. I know they get more seditary as they get older but this seems to have occured quite quickly & to an extreme.
I've met adult beardies and really do feel falcor is acting abnormally.
Any suggestions? I'm giong to try to get my brother to take him to a vet for a check up next week (at their moms house this week). I don't know alot about the beardie because he's my brothers lizard - any suggestions on what might be wrong?
Other then a few live crickets he gets a full completment of fresh veggies & raspberries so I really doubt its a dietary thing.

Sand in the bottom, reptile sand I'm sure
I they are dusted but they also get flukers so they are a little packed (bro doesn't take good care of them & they always die Mad)
He does have a UV light which is why it's wierd he's in the corner all the time.
He was cold a couple weeks ago when I first noticed he wasn't doing well apparently it's up around 76.5 right now because his lights are off but it's usually around 80.
He's holding his legs out like a hot dog does, or maybe a cold reptile Smile
As far as I know there is only the one heat-pad.

I'm looking into taking him into a vet this weekend - but does anyone know what might be wrong?
It's my brother's lizard so I don't know much about him except that he doesn't look very well right now - just not moving around as much as he should.
