What is your dragon's size, did you feed too large of an insect? Which substrate are you using
for him?
You can place the UVB inside of the tank, strategically. Which UVB light are you using? It would
need to be mounted directly overhead to give the best exposure & at a safe level.
Baths can help an impaction, but if she is truly impacted, you can start giving some softer foods
such as sugar free applesauce, canned unspiced pumpkin & a few drops of coconut or olive oil
to help move things through better. Be sure her basking spot is optimal temperatures, also.
Let us know how she is doing.

Hi, my bearded dragon is 11-12 inches long. I believe I fed too big of a cricket because ever since we changed the size of cricket, she started acting weird, and can’t use her front right and back left leg that well. We will be taking her to the vet if using prune baby food doesn’t help. I use carpet, and I use the reptisun 10.0 t8 uvb bulb. We just propped the bulb inside her tank but we are worried as the basking bulb can catch it on fire but we are keeping them far away as possible to prevent that. (I’ll put a pic of lizard and cage set up.)
Update- she seems to be getting a little better with her leg strength. We will be giving her carrot baby food and prune baby food to help. People say prune baby food helps. Thanks and I’ll keep you updated.
