I'm always paranoid about this dragon! Of course , today she is actually out and basking (as opposed to yesterday she was hiding and I always get worried!)
So I just wanted to take some updated pics of her house. Yes, I have two UVB bulbs because sometimes she hangs out on her rock/hammock on the warm side and sometimes she chills in the right side (cooler side) and I just want to make sure she is getting enough. Heat lamp is 250 watts, those other two bulbs to the right are ceramic heat emitters for night time when it gets cooler.
I believe my UVB lights are the Zilla Desert 50 uvb T8.
I know I'm not supposed to have stick on thermometers as they aren't accurate. We really only use them for the humidity measurement, as we live in SC and it's generally humid (we keep our place at 70 degrees, it's 105 here lol).
Under her heat lamp, on her rock, it gets about 95-100. Her cool side is around 80ish.
But we did change up her house; we flipped it landscape style as it used to be taller than it was wide and she didn't use the bottom half. So this way she has more floor space and a few hiding spots. She likes to hide under the logs.
I took her to the vet a few weeks ago and they said she looked good. My only issue that worries me (yes another thing) is she only goes to the bathroom once a week and sometimes it's runny. She is a ****head when it comes to eating veggies, only a few pieces every day and baby food from a syringe because she's lazy. Some days she doesn't even want her worms we skip a day of worms, but even when she does eat them it's only maybe 3-5 super worms each time. I just don't feel like her appetite is like other dragons a bath once a week, she comes out of her house a few times a week to hang out on the couch and watch out the window.
Also, I can't tell what it going on with her back. I can't tell if it's a shed that might start or what! It looks like a dark saddle
Any advice would be nice. I just want my Kush monster to feel comfy and at home.
