It's hasn't been 6 months. I got it in July. Also he was doing this before I added the second bulb. I added the bulb today. Where can I get a thermometer to check the cage? My digital thermometer showed it being 95 one minute and 85 the next. Also I spray him. Not his enclosure just him.
The reptisun is good then sometimes when there over six months effects the dragons. I really think the second isn't needed unless raiseing the basking temp. usually walmart has the digital probes to check temps and work very well. temp guns are the best so you don't have to wait for lights to be on for a hour or a hour and a half to check the temps. I use the temp gun to check the bask temp and the cool end floor and always happy with the results. you just point it two inches away i usually get as close as i can. digital probes work well i used to tie one under the basking bulb and another taped at the cool end. I would only mist if a shed is in process. but usually if its to warm they stay at the bottom of enclosure and hide as well. you notice any mouth opening? How old is your dragon and if you could provide some information about your setup and feeding i could be more of some help.
I was told to mist daily on here to keep him
hydrated. He does open his mouth some times but not constantly. He's almost a year old. I feed crickets with calcium and d3 daily with a sprinkle of vitamins. I feed in a separate container a well
If you mist dragons don't get water though there skin. its vent or by mouth they get water and water from feeders and greens as well. does your dragon have pure white urates and non watery poop. if the stools are pure white and not very watery thats a good sign of being
hydrated. do you sprinkle vitamins everytime or just twice a week 1 feeding those two times. Keep a eye on the temps when the mouth you notice opens could be to warm.
