Hey all,
Today's poop looked a little watery and smelled a tad bit weird.

Ok here is a website for nutrition ----------- http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
If your feeding regular lettuce please do not feed anymore -- it has no nutritional value and usually causes runny stools - the only good thing about regular lettuce is the water content -- - you need to feed greens like collard mustard turnip and kale ---- every day -- fresh- if he is under a year he needs more than 16 crickets per day --- they need to be dusted w/ calcium D3 5 x per week and vitamins 2 x per week --- squash cut up or shredded is good -- green beans - fruit occasionally--- NO Citrus--- I would recommend getting him some super worms to put on top of his salad 1-3 medium size -- along w/ some BSFL- they can be ordered here https://symtonbsf.com/ they are a great staple feeder and do not need to be dusted --- use a glass bowl they cant get out of and add as many as you want on top of his salad fed first thing in the morning ---- these worms will entice him to the bowl and eat his vegies -- you can order other worms like butter worms wax worms they are like candy tho so feed sparingly if you decide to get them horn worms good hydrating worm and they grow real fast -- silk worms are great but hard to find and spendy-- No Meal worms -- the exoskeleton is too hard on their stomachs - more for adult dragons -- get his diet straightened out along w/ proper basking temps of 105-110 for babies and juveniles 95-110 for adults and good UVB and you will have a healthy dragon-- you can order worms from these places www.dubiaroaches.com-- www.abdragons.com--- www.mulberryfarms.com---- www.joshsfrogs.com

Are you taking the temp w/ a digital probe? What wattage are you using for basking? I was looking thru previous post and didnt see any basking temps

No, right now I am just using the thermometer because I don't have temp gun at the moment.

I am using the repti sun 75 wat heat bulb

Ok that thermometer is inaccurate I suggest you go to Pet smart or Petco or your local petstore and get a digital probe thermometer for $5 or so -- I dont want you to change out the heat bulb till you get a accurate temp----- https://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/PetSmart/5176729---- what size is your tank? And what are you using for UVB? coil or a tube?

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!
