If you have a 40 gallon tank I would go get a 24" fixture w/ a reflector and a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 or a T 8 bulb --- when you get this let us know so we can help you place it -- they need to be certain distances from her basking spot--- next she needs basking temps of 95-110- and they need to be taken w/ a digital probe or infrared heat gun - probes can be bought at Petsmart or Petco for $5 - heat guns for $10-12 from you local home improvement store NO STICKONS they are inaccurate -- those two lights are the most important thing in that tank --- next here is a website for nutrition http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html -- she needs fresh salads every day --- insects I would try and get her some dubia roaches-- they can be ordered from here http://www.dubiaroaches.com you can also get her some butter worms horn worms they are a hydrating worm and grow fast so order small amounts - super worms meal worms -- more places to order is from these websites
http://www.mulberryfarms.com/ silk worms they are a great staple feeder
https://symtonbsf.com/ BSFL another staple feeder they are small so order large and they do not need to be dusted
thats all I am going to post for now -- you need to dust her insects w/ calcium D3 and vitamins every time you feed her bugs - alternate between the two - I would offer her some insects 2-3 times per week - she does not look very healthy -- is she eating ? My guess is shes calcium deficient w/ the rolling around and stiff --- please get the UVB ASAP

That being said, she is in critical condition. She has a neurological problem causing the terrible movements and black beard means stress. Do you have a reptile vet in the area ? If you fond one that is experienced with beardies they can help but otherwise don't bother. It may be ADV [ atadenovirus ] or may be serious calcium and/or vitamin deficiency. She needs more food so get some crickets + superworms. Give her plain water without sugar + salt, that can mess up her kidneys. Best wishes too you + the poor girl !

The squash is good for hydration but may give her the runs. :shock: What are her basking temps . ? So you got the coil bulb in the dome ? Can you post pics of how it's set up ?
