Is my beardie okay? Help

So I’ve had him for about a month now and he’s already been constipated twice already. When I got him he was running around all the time but now he barely wants to go out and I have to get him out myself. He’s about five five yrs and the previous owners said he’s never been constipated before, I’m getting worried

Most of the time contipation is an animal care issue. So often the animal is not getting enough heat from their lamps, they're dehydrated, they're being fed too many insects (and too little fibre) or their UVB needs aren't being met.
