Those temps are not that cold.





50 degrees is not all that bad. That can endure some pretty low temps. It gets very cold in the outback deserts at night. In the winter especially and even during summer months the temps dip quite a bit. Easily down into the 50 and below.



They can endure some pretty low temps and low temps are not as bad as too high of temps. Then they will just cook and their brains will boil. Otherwise they just get very sluggish and dormant when cool.



Get the dragon back into her warm cycle but do not raise the temps at night. Dragons need cooler temperatures at night to shut down and rest.



If anything he/she may be a little dehydrated. I would do a very warm soak when the dragon is very hot and been basking awhile. Put it into a really warm bath. It may drink if dehydrated. Let it soak in the very warm water for say 2-3-5 minutes. No longer than that. Immediately take it out and have a dry towel ready to dry the animal thoroughly.



Place the dragon right back into the basking spot directly under the light to get warm again.



The baths can cause illness if they are not thoroughly dried, placed into warm warm baths (temperature shock) and then put into a warm basking area instantly to rewarm and dry the dragon.



Then I would just leave it alone and let the dragon de-stress a few days before messing with it. Offer it some food if it looks to be doing better.



Mask off the glass if its in an open tank so it cant see anything and stress further for a day or two also possibly.
