BDlvr makes a good point that the overall tempurature in your enclosure getting to hot could become problematic . However if you are achieving cool side temps of "78-82*F" in your current set up with the 50 W halogen then do not get a stronger bulb. Instead, simply elevate your bask a few inches (or however many inches it takes) to achieve a higher bask spot (i would aim for atleast 120). This way you can provide a higher bask temp. and still keep your cool side between 78-82.

Of course it is impossible to tell why your dragon is not pooping over the internet, however it is pretty safe to say that a bask spot of 100-103 is part of the cause. Make sure he/she is hydrated and has a good tempt gradient and your problem will likely fix itself. If problems are still present after you have improved husbandry, then think about seeing a vet. Thanks.
