Hello! I have recently got my bearded dragon a T5 UV Light and a heat lamp because he wasn’t doing very well. He’s losing a lot of weight and does not move unless needed. He turns black and brown and his stomach has circles in them. I believe he is stressed and most likely has parasites. Would...

I believe he is 6-7 months old because of his size, but I’m not sure. I found some UVB T8 and T5 and fixtures. Would you tell me which one is the best? Also, what is wrong with the Reptisun Zoo med T5 Fixture? It comes with a T5 Bulb 5.0, not a 10.0. Is that a problem? Here are the pictures!

Oh! I also found a sperm plug or something along the lines of that in his genitals. I tried a warm bath and soaked it and massaged it. I got a bit out, but it just ripped into two pieces. The other piece is still in his genitals, but hidden. I also think he has clogged sperm plugs.

I have no idea on which one. Would you recommend to me which one is better? T8 or T5? Which one would be more beneficial? I have a screen with little holes like diamonds, and they are metal. Could you specify on the neurological thing about the going on circles too?

Right now, I take my bearded dragon outside when it’s sunny to get heat and UVB. Also, I mean on the cold and warm side.
