Make sure your uvb is directly above the basking decor 12-15 inchesI’ll try and post some pictures too. Heat and lighting, I have the Arcadia Solar basking floodlight 100w and the Arcadia T5 desert 12% (lights set up like in the pic attached). It’s nighttime here so will try and get a picture of the little man in the morning. Basking platform, 40•c, warm side 33-35•c, centre of tank 30•c, cool side been trying to reduce temps here as weather has been very warm but managed to get it down to 26•c. He tends to hang out on the wooden ladder attached to his basking spot, which is mid 30’s with a laser temp reader. I have digital thermometers on the left, right and in the middle that are not seen in the picture and also take basking temp with a laser temp reader. Any suggestion more than welcome as I’m super stressed that he’s getting poorly and I know they.can go down hill really quickly x
Is your UVB in a fixture?Thank you all for taking the time to come back to me, much appreciated
So, my viv is 4x2x2, my little man is 7/8 months. he was 217 grams about 3 weeks ago. Iv attached some more photos so the placement of the lights can be seen. They are quite dark as I took them as I left for work and it’s another hour until his lights come on so he’s not at all impressed with me. Also, the uvb is on more of an angle and covers more of the tank then it looks in the photo.
Yes the lighting fixtures are all fixed inside the viv.m, it’s a solid lid.Is your UVB in a fixture?
I’ll have to have a look about but nothing really has changed, he is near a full length window so maybe I’ll close the shutters and see if that makes a difference as neighbourhood cats may come into the garden while im at work. I have a mini cam in the viv and today he seems to be on his ladder with his eyes closed, I’ll post a pic, the colour isn’t true as he’s not that pale but is going into shed around his mouth and front left legOk that's a good size habitat so we can rule that out.
Is there something in the room that could be spooking him? Ceiling fans scare a lot if dragons, there was one here that was afraid of the wall art ect. Sometimes they get fixated on some really weird stuff. Maybe watch to see if he is lovked on to something in the room.
Does the fixture have a reflector?Yes the lighting fixtures are all fixed inside the viv.m, it’s a solid lid.
Yes, it shows a little in one of the earlier photos I attached but here’s a clearer oneDoes the fixture have a reflector?
Ok please No ENEMAS-Yes, it shows a little in one of the earlier photos I attached but here’s a clearer one
