:shock: Our dragon almost died after eating crushed walnut shell substrate - we don't have that much experience but would definitely recommend you replace the substrate with something solid- we switched to non-adhesive shelf liner and she's been much better. Hope others come with more advice for you!

you might want to raise the basking temps to 105 babies like it hotter.I agree about walnut shell its bad.

walnut is very bad, also the temps need be to at the 105, and some could be re-location stress
Hello Kevin,
We do need to know more about your lighting & temperatures, please.
What type & brand of UVB light are you using, a flourescent tube light or a compact or coil light? How close is it to your dragon?
What type of basking light are you using, a bright white light or a colored light?
What type of thermometer are you using, is it a stick on thermometer, a digital probe or a temp gun?
Please do replace the walnut substrate & use either paper towels or a non adhesive shelf liner.
