so I went and rescued a dragon off craigslist ( I am done no more rescues too much stress)
10 inches
malehot side 105 cool 86 ish
20 gallon qt melimine tank with heat and uvb strip 10.0
SO here is what i know He is very ematiated ( sp skinny) the dragon is rolling today lathargic but was not yesterday when I got him. yester day he ate greens and 5 super worms and two small roaches.
so today he is rolling and cant do anything and diggs
I have bathed him in warm water but he would have drown ( cant keep head up) so I took him out after a few min
he will not eat today and just lays there in the cage but if I take him out he rolls
more info I got from the last owner
He has had him for 6 months he feed him dusted crickes once a week and he had 10.0 uvb strip and sand and a 75 watt heat light
He was bought at 6 inches and has never been with another dragon his whole life
so what do you think he seemed great when I got him
could he be over heated since he was used to a cooler tank
he is not impaced as he has pooped and it looked good
SOOO HELP
That does not mean much cause they can lay infertile`s at 6 months. If your pooper is constantly digging and especially in the corners then sounds like eggs.
like an alligator death roll circleing and flipping over
he's asleep now but as soon as I took him out to check on him he started rolling it is as if he cant lift his head up either
It is a possible ether an RI or she could be egg bound and she is trying to shift the eggs. Maybe even something neurological. I would say a vet visit should be now. What type of UVB is it and what are the temps and how are they measured?
I meant to post but today was a crazy day I had an appointment to take him in this morning at 11 but he passed away at 9:30. It is so hard to try to save these poor guys and all I had was one day with him.
