This should be worrisome. Is he still eating/maintaining weight? Check and correct the temperature to provide POTZ (preferred optical temperature zone). If remains lethargic, not eating, a veterinary visit is recommended. Intestinal parasites,kidney disease, gastrointestinal obstructions from ingestion of substrate, are all common problems. Good luck.
