<<< 110 degF = 43 degC is GETTING VERY CLOSE to the dangerous temperatures.
See this viewtopic.php?f=5&t=233516
I'd nudge that down a few degrees C.
If he has an RI , keep him warmer than 28 degC round the clock while he's sick and being treated will :
>> help dry the mucus
>> help boost his metabolism
>> help boost his immune system
the cool side is around 78 degrees F, taken with a temperature gun. He has a Zoo Med T8 Reptisun 36 inch UVB Bulb in a relfector hood the same length and an Exo Terra 100 watt Intense Basking Spot Lamp. His feeding schedule varies since he doesn't want to eat much sometimes but typically is fed however many gut-loaded dubia roaches, superworms, red runners, hornworms, ect as he wants in one sitting a few times a week. I dust his food in either Zoo Med's Reptivite or Rep Cal's Herptivite once for every three dustings of Zoo Med's Repticalcium with D3 or the without D3 version. He's in a forty gallon breeder tank. I'm going to be taking him to the vet tomorrow as soon as possible, however I don't have any reptile specific vets near me. I have an exotics vet less than five minutes away from my house that deals with reptiles including bearded dragons, is that still suitable? I don't really have any other options than that and I'm not entertaining the idea of not taking him in. The only other factor I can think of contributing to his illness is that he's next to a fully planted 40 gallon breeder bio-active? Not sure if they're that sensitive? Here's some pictures of him and his enclosure, the sheet isn't normally in there but my mom wanted him to have something soft to lay on if he wanted. Let me know if I missed anything important, thanks for the responses.
Edit: Won't be able to take him in until 2:30pm today, they don't take emergencies and all appointments are filled for this morning. He has an appointment now though so will update later.
