Beardie issues

Hey,
Iv'e had my beardie for about two years and he just never seems to be regular..
His enclosure is always thermostated at 35 deg,t he UV is constantly changed, always has water and im constantly misting him, behavior wise to my knowledge he seems fine i mean he's pretty lethargic and then when he knows he's getting fed he goes nuts.
He's constantly eating but he never seems to be going to the toilet, i mean like once every couple of weeks..

anyone feel like troubleshooting?
Thanks

All beardies are pretty lethargic unless they're being fed mate. As long as he seems healthy I shouldn't think you have anything to worry about...

my beardies are almost 3 and pretty active, theyre constantly moving around my flat and i find them in different plaes every time i get home. when i'm home on weekends theyre constantly on teh move running from the balcony to inside, exploring all the rooms then going back out to the balcony.

i give them a warm bath every morning and they poo daily without fail in teh warm water.

try giving ur dragon warm baths and gently massaging the right side of his tummy from halfway down moving towards the vent and let him swim a bit, that should get him going. you can also try giving him diluted juice, 1 part juice to 4 parts water from a needleless syringe to get him really well hydrated, mine go nuts fro the juicey water and generally do an extra poo the day after their juicy treat.
(just place a drop of juice on his nose, if he dosent start licking straight away gently push ur finger nail between his lips so he tastes it and he'll start licking like a maniac, tehn slowly squirt it in as he licks away)
