[QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 2038089, member: 97951"] Ok what size tank is Sparkles in? Please ditch the sand and use paper towels for now -- did she lay eggs? How old is she? Usually the frantic digging could mean shes gravid--- you need to get two digital probe thermometers-- Zoo Med makes them found at Pet Smart or Petco --- the long tube fixture for a UVB is what you need --- I am going to post links for them and you need this ASAP- tank size we can work on later but we need to get the surface basking temps and UVB on par first ---- there are 3 good ones to choose from you want a 24" fixture ---- this will go into a bigger tank later -- Zoo Med 24 " [URL="https://www.pangeareptile.com/collections/fixtures/products/zoo-med-reptisun-t5-hood?variant=26907425734756"]Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO Hood[/URL] this will come w/a 5.0 bulb you want this one 22" Reptisun 10.0 T 5 [URL="https://www.pangeareptile.com/collections/uvb-bulbs-florescent-mercury-vapor/products/zoo-med-reptisun-10-0-uvb-t5?variant=26907418591332"]Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB T5 HO[/URL] this one can be found at Pet Smart -- you want the 24 watt 12% bulb [URL="https://www.pangeareptile.com/collections/uvb-bulbs-florescent-mercury-vapor/products/arcadia-prot5-12-uvb-bulb-with-hood"]Arcadia ProT5 12% UVB Bulb With Hood[/URL] or this one you need the 2ft or 24" -- you will need to change the bulb out to the Reptisun bulb I posted above -- [URL]https://hydrobuilder.com/sunblaster-nanotech-t5-ho-fixture-with-6400k-lamp.html[/URL] here are the thermometers you need 2 of them one for the basking side one for the cool side of the tank [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.pangeareptile.com/collections/thermometers-and-hygrometers-1/products/zoo-med-digital-thermometer[/URL] You want surface basking temps of 95-100 for a dragon over 6 months of age -the digital probe thermometer is going to tell you what wattage you need for the tank --- you want a clear solid bright white basking bulb --- household incandescent bulbs are good but you need the correct wattage to get the temps I posted - -- is she eating? Dragons will not eat if any of the temps in the tank are off and incorrect UVB -- this is imperative for her to live -- how is she getting water? [/QUOTE]
