What are you feeding him? this will help as to what we can suggest-- is he eating good for you? Have you weighed him he doesnt look to bad-- he should be over 300 grams- and how are you getting him water?

Hello,

Do you have pictures of him? Bless him, at 9 years of age, that is terrific. Can he move around
very well right now?
Please review your tank setup with us, such as the type/brand of UVB lighting, supplementation
& temperatures so we can be sure everything is all correct.

If you can drink your tap water he can too --- how is he getting water? Bath? Dripping on his nose? Are you rinsing his salads before serving?

I am rising the saled and he just drinks the water out of the bole most of the time unless I give him a bath

Hi! Has something happened to his tail? From the pictures I can see a lump in the mid section? How long has he had it?

 

[KarrieRee]

Your Zilla does the fixture have a clear plastic cover in it? And is it inside the tank? Please post a better pic of his tail- where the bump is

The lump on his tail h been there for as long as I can remember and it doesn’t seem to bother him at all

Is your Zilla in the tank or top of screen? If it's on the screen your dragon is getting little to none- I would swap out the bulb to a reptisun 10.0 T 8 place in the tank w/ no clear plastic cover over the bulb-- the reptisun bulb is a better bulb-- it need to be 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor

Hello,

How is your boy doing today?
I agree, the Zilla tube bulbs are not very strong so I would highly recommend either the Reptisun
10 T5 tube or the Arcadia D3 12% T5 tube. They are both very good.
That bump on his tail looks like it's hard, like a cyst or some type of growth. It is a possibility that
it could be affecting his health.
Let us know how he is doing.
