Issue 1
UV is a compact ....
Issue 2
UV compact is mounted vertical configuration --> very small area illuminated by it cf horizontal configuration in a Nano Hood.
Issue 3
UV compact is mounted ontop a fine mesh lid which is blocking 40% of the UV.
Issue 4
UV compact is too far from the dragon even when at it's basking spot.
See this : viewtopic.php?f=34&t=235611
try to get about 180-200 microW UVB / sq.cm at the basking spot and about 80 microW UVB / sq.cm elsewhere.
Lethargy & lack of apetite likely mainly due to the UV setup (Insufficient UVA).
Viv is too small , it's not got a large enough footprint
The dial type analog thermometer is worthless, you have no idea what the actual temperature in the viv is , could be a many degrees hotter or cooler than indicated , ditch it, need at least one of these :

Got the digital thermometer and his basking spot is about 109.7 and his cool side is about 80. He spent some time on the bottom today in the basking area. I gave him a warm soak this morning. He didn’t eat today. I’m going to try some yogurt tomorrow and some of the 1st stage baby food. I got a fecal sample earlier today I’m going to go have tested! I’ll let you all know the outcome of that as soon as I know!
