recently my dragon has been doing this too but i found that it has become too hot in his cage so he hides from the heat lamp. I thought that that couldnt be the problem but i guess 110F is too hot for a little guy. I turned it off and he came out. picky dragons

FYI, you need to make sure you have a basking spot big enough where he can move in and out of the hottest part to choose his own preference of heat. If his basking spot is not much bigger than himself and it's either "hot" or "not" you might want to think about changing some things around. Just thought I'd mention that because most smaller beardies like the higher heat but will not spend 100% of their basking time at the hottest part.
