That looks not good --- possibly mouth rot -- going to get some more help--- what kind of UVB are you using? coil or a long tube fixture--- brumation is when they go into a sleep and dont come out -- her not eating is from her lips --- what are the surface basking temps and how are you taking them? Please keep her hydrated -- she needs water and w/ her not eating I am thinking shes not drinking either?

Not drinking either been spritzing with water. I got a new light from pet store it's a black and a coil I haven't been taking temp in tank it seems warm she is basking on her little log

She doesn't have goo or inflammation just black lips I wiped them with warm water seems really dry

Ok it sounds like your using a ceramic heat emitter? If that is the case you need a solid clear bright white basking bulb examples exo Terra intense or flukers basking bulb or a Arcadia halogen-- 2 digital probe thermometers - a good long tube fixture uvb- NO coils- the ceramic heat emitter will not keep surface basking temps to what you need- which are 95-100 this is crucial in starting digestion and w/ the temps not correct or uvb your dragon will not eat- I can post good uvb's for you links - please get these things right away like yesterday- your dragon is getting sicker and sicker w/ this being incorrect

please let me know what you get -- Petco sells T 8's they are not as strong as the T 5's I have posted -

Thank you do you think this could be the cause of black lips?

 

[KarrieRee]

I will need to help you get this placed for your tank -- the screen on the tank will determine where the UVB goes along the w/ the bulb -- T 8's need to go into the tank that is a must T 5's have more of a option --- yes her health and surface basking temps a long w/ the UVB is crucial to this -- for her to eat and be healthy --- please let me know what you find -- do you have a Pet Smart as well
