Hello!
So my 6 month old male dragon has been acting weirdly recently. Lots of puffing his sides out and bearding, scratching in the corners, sitting with his eyes closed for long periods of time during the day, especially after eating, and also often refusing to eat any crickets in the evening! The skin on his head is greyer so I think he's going to shed it soon.
He lives in a 4-foot long tank with 2 UVB bulbs, one 10.0 and one 2.0. Heat bulb is positioned on top of the tank, temperatures are 105 F and 89 F (I know that this is too hot, I've been struggling to set my thermostat up ). I feed him crickets, calci worms and rocket, butternut squash and the occasional strawberry (though he hardly ever eats the veg I give him!). I mist him every day and bath every few days. Poo looks normal (sorry!)
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this behaviour? Could it be parasites?
