[QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 2028871, member: 97951"] ok so please get rid of the coil and use the T 8 for your main UVB for now- is the bulb new like not over 5 months old? If so please get a new one but I recommend you upgrade to a T 5 24" Zoo Med or a Arcadia Pro T5 w/ a 12% bulb 24 watt found at Pet Smart or a Sunblaster Nano Tech you can order it off the hydrobuilder website - you will need to change the bulb out to the Reptisun 10.0 bulb like the Zoo Med it comes w/ a 5.0 bulb --- if the Zilla your using now has a cover over the bulb take it off - it needs to be in the tank 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor piece w/ NO cover and NO screen blocking the UVB rays --- I would recommend getting a new fixture or change the Zilla bulb out to the Reptisun 10.0 T 8 bulb -- Oxbow Critical Care can be found here [URL='https://www.amazon.com/s?k=oxbow+critical+care&crid=1NF7YGFVSNZCX&sprefix=oxbow+critical+care+%2Caps%2C138&ref=nb_sb_noss_2']https://www.amazon.com/s?k=oxbow+critical+care&crid=1NF7YGFVSNZCX&sprefix=oxbow+critical+care+,aps,138&ref=nb_sb_noss_2[/URL] or try your vets office see if they have it ---- At this time I am going to say your dragon is not eating because of the UVB-- coils are a health hazard please stop using it and get your Zilla correctly placed -- the black holder has a reflector in it? That would be the shiny part inside the fixture - it reflects the UVB rays downward to him -- the milk thistle you can get from Tracie the vet tech mod on here - here is her website [URL='https://bug-de-lite.com/']Home[/URL] Do you have the blood work done from the vet? If so post the results on here and she can take a look at it in the mean time get your UVB corrected - does your dragon bask for long periods of time under the basking bulb - I would try and keep your temps at night around 80 or so since he is not feeling good - a ceramic heat emitter would do that - you want something for heat w/ NO light -- you will need a dome w/ a ceramic holder for the bulb - [URL]https://hydrobuilder.com/sunblaster-nanotech-t5-ho-fixture-with-6400k-lamp.html[/URL] 24" fixture or 2 ft - bulb needs to be a 22" 10.0 Reptisun [/QUOTE]
