Hello,

I am sorry to hear your dragon has had some digestive trouble.
At his length though, I would back down to medium crickets. Are the large crickets wider/longer than the space between his eyes?
He may not be digesting them very well & could be partially impacted with too large of prey, possibly.
You are using the Reptisun 10 tube bulb, correct along with a bright white basking light?
What are the temperatures in his tank?
