Where is the uvb? I can't see it- I am assuming it's in the tank? Are the tanks set up the same?Ok, thanks a lot. My ex wife lost confidence when the vet said as long as he is breathing the hot tanks air his digesting food will be fine.
T5 ho10 Uvb is in tank 12/18 from basking. Lights are same, halogen, DHP withe HerpstatWhere is the uvb? I can't see it- I am assuming it's in the tank? Are the tanks set up the same?

Are these tanks set up the same way? We need Tracie to look at the blood work-- I am flagging her againArcadia Deep heat projector and also a Arcadia basking halogen for basking spot. Uvb hanging in tank
. Yes, same lighting setup with basking spot 12/18 inches under uvb light. Decor is different but lighting is same. I will get picture of her tankAre these tanks set up the same way? We need Tracie to look at the blood work-- I am flagging her again

This is where he likes to hang. She took items out to try to get him to bask, so it’s basically the minimum items. Her uvb is hanging inside back top of tank. Don’t mind the 82 basking side temp, his lights are just coming on. I do have a another question. I have always covered the front of my tank when lights are off, she doesn’t. I know it’s not a health issue, but is it better for the dragon if the tank is in the room with a tv and maybe one light? Thanks.Are these tanks set up the same way?

Uvb is less than 6 months old. I change them every 6 months, it may be too often but he has been a challenge. I also have taking uvb readings with a solar meter 6.5. I just can’t figure him out. I tried to do everything I do for mine and he just won’t bask consistently. So I’m wondering if the blood work will tell me anything. My daughter does keep his basking spot at 100. She says he doesn’t like it too hot.Lights will keep them awake- I would not have any lights on in the room hes in - as far as the UVB can you pull it off the back wall a little out from it? I am not saying its the cause for his illness but we often dont recommend the UVB on the back wall - he needs to be able to sit directly under it -- if hes able to then its fine --- Black bearding and hiding is not good--- usually its a temp issue and / or a UVB issue- how old is the UVB? Black bearding is a sign of distress or pain-- I am not a fan of vets giving antibiotics just to give them -- there needs to be a reason for them to being presrcibed --
Time to lower the basking spot --- try 95-- he may not like the 100--- I would offer a piece of decor that has different spots to bask for temp --- something like this Thrive Driftwood Reptile Decor | reptile Bearded Dragon | PetSmartUvb is less than 6 months old.

Will do. I’m going over later to redo it for her. Thank youTime to lower the basking spot --- try 95-- he may not like the 100--- I would offer a piece of decor that has different spots to bask for temp --- something like this Thrive Driftwood Reptile Decor | reptile Bearded Dragon | PetSmart
I use this in my two tanks it offers different places to sit --- I have the long stick part on the floor w/ the big trunk part under the basking light --- try something thats going to give different temps --
