Hi everyone! Soooooo Mango is a year old and shes been pretty sleepy lately her temps are 95 on the hot side and 83 on the cool side. She has a 100-watt basking bulb and a 10.0 coil zoo med UVB bulb well both the bulbs are zoo med brands sorry. she is temporarily in a 40 gallon we have her 120 gallon ready to go but her UVB tube hasn't been shipped yet. anyways every day she's been waking up in her hammock where the temps are 95 and then after she eats she just goes on her small rock where the temp is 82 and starts to nod off this has been happening for about a week now. if you need any pics of her or her tank or anything like that ill be more than happy to send them

The coil is a problem- your dragon is getting no uvb- please replace the coil w/ a 24" Zoo Med fixture it will come w/ a 5.0 bulb keep it for a backup but you need a 22" reptisun 10.0 T 5 or get a 24" Arcadia pro T 5 w/ a 12% bulb-- please do this ASAP-- when you get the uvb please post on here and I will help you get it set for your tank the screen will determine where the uvb will go- check out www.pangeareptiles.com

but that still doesn't explain why shes so sleepy why would she go in a place that has less uvb if she knows and feels shes lacking it?

She's getting sick w/ no uvb- your better off shutting it off - if you live in a place where it's warm / hot get her outside for some good uvb temps need to be 65 or warmer direct sunlight in a plastic tote for 15 minutes but you must supervise her- do this everyday till the uvb comes

How long is your 40 gallon tank? When it comes to UV lighting actual dimensions are more important than the volume of your enclosure
