[QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 2017229, member: 97951"] Welcome to the forum --- sorry to hear about the bad experience w/ the first one--- it is heartbreaking to have them pass on you and after 2 days I am thinking the dragon was sick when you got him Ok so lets up the size of the dubias please --- go to this website [URL="http://www.dubiaroaches.com"]www.dubiaroaches.com[/URL] and look at their size chart for her --- please get roaches no bigger than the space between her eyes -- she should be not quite eating that many roaches as they are more filling but they need to be the correct size as well --- you do want the reflector back on the fixture of the UVB distance should be 12-15 inches directly above her basking decor piece -- the reflector will enhance the rays and direct the rays downward toward her - this is what you want -- but distance plays a role along w/ placement so that distance I gave you is for it being in the tank or unobstructed no screen--- your tank is only 12" high? It looks taller in the pic-- you definitely want a taller tank like the 4x2x2 -- 120 gallon -- humidity can be a pain --- you can look at getting a humidifier placed next to the tank - how are you getting the humidity ? Analogs are inaccurate you want a digital probe hygrometer placed on the back center wall of the tank 40-50% is optimal and nothing under 20 or over 70% -- are you feeding salads? If not please start -- here is a website for nutrition ignore the kale info its outdated [URL="http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html"]Nutrition Content[/URL] You can spray her nose / head and see if you can get her to lick or you can use a eye dropper to give her water -- but the salads are usually how they get most of the moisture if shes eating them -- bathing as well but it can stress them out -- does she drink when shes in the bath? Here is a website for a reptile vet [URL="http://www.arav.org"]www.arav.org[/URL] type in a bigger cities zip code if your in a small area and I recommend you not taking her in quite yet unless shes really sick --- it will stress her out more -- you can get some textured NON adhesive shelf liner for the tank found at Walmart or your local home improvement store cut to the size of the tank clean w/ vinegar/ water 50/50 wipe down w/a clean wet dish rag etc -- when you get the 4x2x2 tank there is a matt that Zen Habitats has that works good for 4x2x2 tanks -- [/QUOTE]
