Zeus is a 4 month old beardie who we've had since February 4, 2015. When I first brought Zeus home he hardly ate and I figured that was from him being moved to a new home. So, I gave him a week to acclimate to his new surroundings. He would eat very little kale, squash, bananas and maybe 1 to 2 crickets for the 2nd week we had him. The 3rd week he wouldn't eat any crickets and ZERO veggies. SOOOOOO, we got him mealworms..........he likes mealworms! 5 times a day I would give him fresh veggies and mealworms. No no no no he says to the veggies and once a day he'll eat up to 5 mealworms, that's it! Yesterday I go in his room for our usual ritual and he looks terrible! He's losing weight, he's so lethargic and all he wants to do is close his eyes. Oh, for a dragon who doesn't eat he poops regularly! I see no color changes or spots that shouldn't be there. He has a 150w basking light and a 17w uvb tube light and both are made by reptisun. He's approx. 7 to 8 inches away from both lights. Unfortunately at the time I could only get a temp gauge that has the humidity on one side and the temp on the other. From what I've researched and read I should have the probe temp gauge which I plan on getting. The norm temp in his home averages 95 to 100 degrees. His lights are on for 13 hrs and the timer shuts them off for 11 hrs. His home never goes below 70 degrees when the lights are off. He's in the hottest room in the house! We are worried sick and don't want to lose him and be the worst beardie owner ever! If any can help, PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance
