Baby,Lethargic, not eating

[CWB]

Okay, will do!! Hope he eats some crickets, he ate a few pieces of grapes today while I was at work. Should the temp be taken at the bottom of the tank or on his log closest to the light?

You need to set the probe on the basking spot, where he sits under the heat lamp. The probe needs to be there for around 45 mins to make sure that the temp isnt still rising

You will want to measure the temps from three places.

The basking SURFACE. Place the probe directly on the place where your dragon basks.
The hot side. Just on the ground on the hot side.
The cool side. On the ground, the side opposite of where the basking site is.

You should let the probe rest in each place for 45 minutes to an hour to get an accurate reading.

But its better you did since my head has gone away this evening and im forgetting what im doing!

Well basking log is 110. On the ground is 87,cooler side 80. Sound good?

 

[Claudiusx]

That was pretty fast.

You were able to go to the store and pick one up already, and leave the probe in all three spots for 45 minutes to an hour each? :shock:

Yes 30 min in each spot, still waiting on the cooler side reading thats what it reads now though.ended getting a 100 watt basking bulb and changing it out

 

[Claudiusx]

You really need to leave it in each spot for 45 minutes to an hour to get an accurate reading. It can still rise a few degrees after 30 minutes depending on which one you got.

Can you post up a picture of your setup please, just to clear any confusion or so we can see something maybe we forgot to ask?

[CWB]

I will post a picture as soon as I can. He still not interested with the crickets I'm going to dust some roman lettuce hopefully he can get some of that in his belly.

 

[ChellyBeans]

He shouldn't be eating romane. He need to,be eating greens. Like mustard greens, collard greens etc.

Try to get some collard greens, mustard greens or turnip greens. You can also feed squash - iv found all of my beardies love their squash
