My bearded dragon was doing great in the beginning of the year, then his light went out. I had to get him a a new UVB light & the only one that wasn't sold out was a Zilla UVB Fluorescent tube bulb, it was the right temp in his enclosure (96f-100f depending on hot it is here, I live in Cali so it's a good 110+ during the summer & I run a swamp cooler) but then all started to go south. The bulb I have been using since he was a wee lil guy is the Exo Terra Solar Glo Sun Simulating Bulb 3in1 which he never had any issues with. When I was using the Zilla along with a reg uva bulb in as well to provide more stimulating light, but he stopped eating his veggies barely would eat his live food, laid around and just didn't do anything. Thankfully I was able to come across an Exo light got rid of that Zilla, he seems to be more awake now, yet because NOW it's so close to the time he brumates he is not eating anything & drinks very little. I was able to take him to the vet, he couldn't find anything, simply told me to keep him hydrated. Easier said then done at this point since Nachos isn't wanting to do his part. He's 3yrs old, doesn't wobble when he walks sits straight up, (might be a little on the chubby side of things despite him not really eating anything). He gets a good 25min soak sometimes 2x a day, I do mist him hoping he'll drink the drops on the side of the glass or what runs down his nose. Any tips/tricks on getting him to drink?
