Dragon staying in one place in his tank

[Balerion]

I've noticed since yesterday my dragon keeps slouching in a corner of the cage or is upside down on his back. I have no idea what is causing this. He is eating like usual and seems to be drinking, so it seems harder to figure out what is wrong with him. He also has another dragon in his tank, could he be nearly stressed out or is there something more serious?

It sounds like a neurological problem, and it would be best to put the other dragon in a different tank ASAP. Can you post pics of him and of the tank ? What does he eat, what type of calcium do you use and what exact type + brand lights do you use ?

There is a disease called atadenovirus that causes seizures + can lead to death. Google it to read about the symptoms.

He get's kale and other veggies in the morning and crickets at noon with calcium powder. The calcium powder I use is Repti Calcium for the crickets. I use a 100w Zoo Med Repti Basking Reptile Spot Lamp and 10.0 UVB Zoo MEd Repti Su

If you didn't, you need to separate the 2. What size tank do you have them in a well and you should take him to the vet. Dragons tend to fight over heat and light. So the other could be bullying

Separate them and take off sand immediately! Use paper towels, newspaper, or slate. ALL sand and loose substrate is bad, and can kill by impaction.

Hello,

Are you still needing help? If so, we do recommend separating them, so the one who is having trouble can have his own space.
Please let us know if you still need help.
