Hello,
I figured out how to make my post!! yay!!
Well I got the Zilla set for my sons bearded dragon, which he named West Jr.
After 12 days West was not doing well, would not clime, move, or breathe, but it was not dead!
So I found your web page and got some help.
Now I want to make sure I am doing all right this time. I changed the blue day light for a EXO terra 100W 75% intense basking spot. In the tank I have the temperature at floor level is 95 and that is with an additional lamp, using digital thermometer, tank dimention: 30Lx12Wx12H. Question? how do I make the temperature 105 for the basking spot? West is not climbing, so lifting the spot with a platform is not an option. Use a 120W lamp? I do have a rock under the basking light for the belly.
Next question: because of the bad UVB set that comes with the zilla set I got a new lamp, is a slimline desert fixture (Zilla) with an 18", 15 watt desert 50 UVB T8 fluorescent bulb. I have it on top for now but I read is best to have it inside the tank. I also have a reptisun 5.0 UVB (18" 15 watt T8) bulb. Is this one good or should I exchange it for a 10.0?
West Jr is still not eating the amount they normally eat, and is looking rather skinny. West Jr eats about 5 to six small crickets during the day. Poop is nice and moist but not runny. will every now and then have some greens, and will drink a little every day when I give water with a dropper. I have the mealworms but he will not go near.
I want West to be a happy and healthy bearded dragon so any help will be appreciated.

Hi. Have you check the temps on the basking spot? Also I would just use a reptisun 10.0 Tube. Beardies just need a good uvb, basking light and good temps. If you get the reptisun T5 those you can put on the screen and still get plenty of uvb. I think it should fit in your light fixture. I saw doctorsfostersmith is having a light sale for 19.99 plus free shipping if you spend 19.99. Hopefully the sale is still on. Make sure to put the basking light and uvb together over the basking spot. Glad you have your own thread now :D

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
