Basking and appetite decreased

Just feed the flies. Most dragons love trying to catch them.

I did not know this! Thank you. Would rather them not die for nothing. I just ordered 250. I can’t believe I was outside smashing them on the concrete. I read they do not bite like crickets so I’m guessing they can stay in her terrarium for a while?

Its hard to say till we rule some things out like lighting UVB coil or a long tube fixture ? Basking temps what are they and how are you taking them? Stick ons are ambient temp only - you want a digital probe thermometer temps should be 95-100--- incorrect lighting can cause brumation like behavior especially basking temps

I know this is an old thread but I looked back on the date and this would be when I ordered her a hood with the reptisun light. What is the total months I should use the bulb before replacing?

That depends on if its t5 or t8.
I think the t8 are replace at 5 months and the t5 at 9 or 10 months.

i believe a T8 is 6 months and T5 (12%) is 12 months, usually replaced a month early to be safe. sorry, don't know what the equivalent % for a T8 is.
