Stopped eating Is acting strange

JasperTheBeardie · Jul 26, 2016

Greetings! I am Jasper the Beardies owner! I dont know whats wrong with him.All i have is some photos and discribing his weird behavior.

He stopped eating and He usually spends most of his time on the cooler side of his basking spot. Someone please Help!

Hello,

Sorry your dragon is not eating right now.
Can you run over your tank setup with us, such as the type & brand of UVB, supplementation schedule, as well as the temperatures, too?
What sized tank do you have him in currently?
You haven't had Jasper for very long then? He looks pretty young in the pictures.
Also, please review the foods you are offering him, too.

He lives in 15 gallon terrieum.He gets calcuim 2 times a week.I use a Zoo Med 10 watt uvb bulb and a 100 watt uva heat and basking bulb It stays about 95-100 degrees.Also Jasper turned 2 months on monday hes pretty young

And he eats crickets sometimes and Dubia roaches (there baby ones)

Hi. How are you taking the temps? Is the uvb a coil/compact? Or tube? A 100 watt seems like a lot for a small tank. I use a 75 watt in my 40 gallon.

JasperTheBeardie · Jul 27, 2016

Again the temps are about 95-110 and the uvb is a coil

What kinds of thermometers are you using. If its those round stick on those are very inaccurate. You need to get a temp gun or a digital with a wire probe so you know the temps on the basking spot. Also nix that coil uvb. Those cause lethargy, appetite and eye problems. He needs a reptisun 10.0 Tube uvb light.

I use digital

JasperTheBeardie · Jul 27, 2016

I turned off his UVB light right now But do you think he will be able to last till tomorrow?

destiny1998 · Jul 27, 2016

Breardies can go a couple of weeks without. Is it nice where you live? If so you can take him outside and let him sit on your lap to get some real sun. The best uvb source.

I got it for her but shes still there =P Maybe tommorow she will move

destiny1998 · Jul 27, 2016

He needs calcium with D3 5x a week and vitamins 2x a week. Also you should get him a bigger enclosure. Petco has a dollar a gallon sale. Those small tanks are really not very good as it's hard to get the correct temps and lighting set up. I'm glad you bought him the reptisun 10.0 tube. Hopefully that will help.

Great thanks so much!! Also how many gallons should I get her (found out its a girl)
