[QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 2043216, member: 97951"] Welcome to the forum--- how are you getting surface basking temps? Digital probe thermometers are the most accurate -- they should be 95-100 for surface and 100 or so ambient - cool side 80ish during the day - night 65-75 --- the PowerSun is a good bulb but for heat mainly- on top of the screen the UVB is being blocked by 30% or so - I recommend setting up another UVB there are 3 recommended on this board - for a 40 + gallon tank a Zoo Med 24" fixture -- Arcadia Pro T 5 12% bulb 24 watt found at PetSmart or a Sunblaster Nano Tech - I can post websites for you if you like --- as of now your dragon is not getting enough UVB - you can unobstruct the MVB and that will give you more UVB exposure but I would get another UVB as soon as you can -- the MVB gets weaker and weaker and we recommend changing that bulb out every 6 months if your going to continue to use as the only source of UVB- the heat on the MVB's are great not so much UVB -- have you had her in a bath to see if she will drink that way? Watch her poops they will tell you if shes dehydrated -- dark form moist poop and white formed urate - no dried out or chalky looking - she is dehyrated then -- is she eating her salads? If so please rinse before serving and that will also give moisture to her -- she needs vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 times per week dusted on her live insects if shes not eating her greens - calcium D3 once per week dusted on her insects and regular calcium w/ no phosphate 2 times per week -- your UVB will help her synthesize the calcium shes getting --- [/QUOTE]
