I have no idea how I didn't figure this out, I have a double fixture and it seemed that the light from the other bulb was making the uvb bulb look on but it's been burned out and I just remembered that u.v looks purplish and I haven't seen that for a while. Just bought a new bulb and I've always used calcium with D3, will he be okay? He seems alright just has been overly lethargic

He should be fine. I'd increase calcium use to everyday for a week or two just to make sure and don't feed any greens that will bind calcium.

What type of bulb [ name brand ] was it ? If you have a baby dragon, that could be a problem if it has gotten no UVB for a month. A larger dragon could tolerate it. And keep feeding turnip, mustard, collard greens, but like Gail said, avoid spinach + kale for the most part.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
