Please post a pic - go over the surface basking temps and how your taking them-- stick ons are inaccurate - what kind of uvb coil or a long tube fixture

A friend had found him and that's how I end up with the lizard he's in a glass fish tank I have a red heat lamp on but no way of measuring the temp I'm trying to keep him alive until tomorrow atleast I've put a piece of wood in so he can get close to the heat lamp as I wasn't sure what else to do

I dont know --- please offer him water -- drop on his nose see if he will lick --- shut the red light off -- get a regular house hold bulb like a 40 watt for now no LED -- you need heat and the dragon needs dark to sleep please shut it off ---- I dont know what kind of shape hes in --- so I can only advise as to what you need to see if he will make it ---

It may but babies need surface basking temps of 105-110 taken w/ the digital probe thermometer - do what you can - when healthy temps in the tank need to be 65-75 at night when sick we recommend 80's during the nite and that would need to be w/ a ceramic heat emitter - CHE -- they have heat NO light-- keep me posted --

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
