I have another post in beardie ER at the moment because youngest and first beardie drako is not doing well. And i have no idea what could be causing it. Ive been reading constantly and i just cant figure out what is wrong. I cant take him to the vet yet because of new years so two more days!
So his tank is 40 gal. With mesh on the top which my lights are currently sitting on.
100w basking heat bulb brand zoo med
A resptisun 10.0 compact UVB tube right next to the heat bulb in a deep dome light fixture on top of the mesh. He is 6in away from it in his basking spot.
I also have a CHE for overnight
In my reading I've just found out that the compacts are not good or adequate for UVB and that being on mesh makes them even worse??? Drako has been lethargic, refusing to eat, and refusing to move from his basking perch. Could the wrong bulb be causing that?? Im very worried about him and had no idea compacts werent good for them.
