Mistress is right...also, you may want to check the temperature in his enclosure. He should have a warm place to bask (preferably raised so that he can get within 8-12 inches of the basking light) as well as a cooler area (roughly 75 degrees). Remember, he can't regulate his body temp like we can so he simply moves to a different area. If the enclosure is too small, often the cool area is not sufficiently cool.

It seems a little odd this time of year thay slow down if the temertures are to low thay go to sleep. You need a hot spot basking light of a temperture of 90-110degrees(f) and a background temperture of 28-30c and a full spectrum u.v or buy a mercury vapor bulb which does both. A heatmat in the night will keep the tempertures up in to the 70-80s .

It's the time of year for Brumation, a kind of hibernation for reptiles.
If he's over a year old, this is the likely culprit.

He is hibernating, time to let him sleep, I usually shut off all lighting and just keep ambient temps in my room, I would check on him in a few weeks. Then leave him alone.
