Hello,

How long has he had stress marks for? Can you post a picture of your dragon?
The 15 gallon is small & if the basking spot is 108 but the temperature of the overall tank might be too hot since it is a smaller tank. What wattage of basking light are you using? Is it a bright white basking light or a colored light? How close is the Reptisun 10 flourescent tube bulb from him? It IS a flourescent tube bulb, correct?

My girl had stress marks about 80% of the time for a long time. Then about her third month with me they started showing up less and less. How big is she? When do you plan on putting her into a larger enclosure?

 

[cheese]

she is around six and a half inches

I think that will make a big difference. You can regulate your temps better in a larger tank and she will have more room to roam. She will be fine. Like I said, I wouldn't worry unless she had other signs of distress.
