She’s been responsive to water she’s usually a fatty will never say no to food it’s so sad seeing her not eating - hope it’s just from stress or a bad moodYes, it comes from bad mood, stress or pain. She would be in bad mood + stress from what she went through, she was very debilitated just 2 days ago.
I’m also very concerned she hasn’t been basking at all but her heat temps are fine - no basking would affect her, no? Arent they supposed to bask everyday?She’s been responsive to water she’s usually a fatty will never say no to food it’s so sad seeing her not eating - hope it’s just from stress or a bad mood
Could be but we don't know for sure- uvb is critical - when do you expect the new uvbMore than just stress?
She truly is doing much better than she was 2 days agoStress can do it, just remember that she's doing better than she was 2 days ago, much better. Don't worry about basking right now, she's not feeling optimal and they don't always do what we think they should in our minds. Try not to over think everything. I know it's hard, hang in there.

Yes --- those coil UVB's are all inadequate- ok so 2 more days --- the UVB needs to be installed as soon as you get it please install it like I posted earlier for placement and distanceShe truly is doing much better than she was 2 days ago
Arrives Wednesday
Also I realized earlier, I gave you the old UVB I had not the new one - this is the one I have, not the curly one: Thrive Desert 10.0 UVB Bulb | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart
Is this one also bad?
That's a compact, they're also inferior in uvb output so getting the one Karrie recommended will be a good upgrade.
I definitely will + inside the tank. Thank you SO much again. Will keep you postedYes --- those coil UVB's are all inadequate- ok so 2 more days --- the UVB needs to be installed as soon as you get it please install it like I posted earlier for placement and distance
Good to see the blackness is going down- just leave your basking light on- the coil is doing no good -So not a good idea to turn it on until the new one arrives Wednesday? Just leave the UVA?
Also update: blackness in beard going down! Assume it’s the hydration
I suggested 2 because the box is pretty big and the taxi will probably be room temp., around 70F but if it feels too warm in the taxi then one heat pack can be taken out. So you may be right about just using one if the cab driver keeps the cab warm.i know it is short notice for your vet trip, but for future reference, this is what we use on trips. it will let you hook a seat belt through loops on the back to secure it while driving. our vet is 2 hours away from our house. the car keeps things warm enough we don't need the heat packs while driving.

granted you have much colder outside temps right now than we do, but the packs would only be needed while you are outside unless the cab has no heater. and then you would only need one or two at a time
all depends on the ambient temps of the cab i'm sure. our trips are in the summer so we only ever use one. but we've never had to transport a sick dragon, just routine check-ups, so the extra warmth might be good in this case.I suggested 2 because the box is pretty big and the taxi will probably be room temp., around 70F but if it feels too warm in the taxi then one heat pack can be taken out.
