[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2039637, member: 31715"] Thanks for the updated pictures. I see in your profile his typical diet. Has he actually been eating like that recently? If not, what has his typical diet been like the past month. His fat stores in his head and base of tail are basically non-existent. That is typically caused by one of two things. The dragon hasn't been eating for months, or the dragon is suffering from organ failure. He also appears to have some curvature of his spine, but that could be just the angle he is sitting in the picture. Can you recheck your basking surface temperature and place the probe directly where Onyx is lying. Let the probe sit for 5 minutes or so to get an accurate temperature. It's hard to believe that the temp is really 108 with that wattage bulb and that tight of a beam. Although if the beam is that tight, it could be that temperature directly in the beam, but it would be significantly colder even an inch or two away; not ideal. You want to be able to provide a basking area that is about the size of your dragon. At this point, I think if you were able to fix the few husbandry issues (which are pretty cheap issues to fix when compared to vet bills and prescription costs), and you are able to get him to start eating an adequate and healthy diet, he should be able to fight through his issue. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
