Hello, i have a rescue bearded dragon who is about 2 1/2 year old and 16-17 inches long. He is in the 40 gallon breeder that i bought him in. His previous owner almost never had sufficient lighting or any of that and when i received him, his eyes were crusty with yellowish crust around his eyes. His tank set up now is: 100-110 on the hot side and 80 - 85 on the cool side. His substrate used to be sand which i thought may have been the problem due to it being in his eyes but after a while it looks as if that’s not the case. His substrate is now reptile carpet. He has a hide and water bowl and two hammocks which he basks on. His lighting is a 10.0 reptisun uvb and a 150 watt heating lamp by zoo med i believe. He is shedding right now and has been for about 3-4 weeks even through the multiple baths. Right now i’m using terramycin on his eyes and around them. He hasn’t voluntarily eatin in about 2 weeks and before that we were giving him medicine prescribed by a vet but it did not help. Any experience or help would be amazing as i have done a lot and don’t know what to do to help him fight through this. Thank you p.s. before he stopped eating he ate superworms and many safe greens, fruits, and veggies.
