New Beardie Mom seeking help...

[lweather]

I got Spike (male) the day before Xmas. He is 1 1/2 years old. He came with his old cage. I am definitely new and I read all day long feels like on how to care for him, but I think I am doing something wrong or is he not use to his new feeding/surroundings causing issues. Help. My boyfriend said google is the enemy lol. So he had a blowout (water stool) on day 3-4 of having him, he looked like he threw up something this am (clear liquid). He isnt acting lethargic. Im feeding him crickets and mill worms, fruit veggies. Someone tell me what i could be or not be doing. Thanks

Hi there, the most important thing for anyone here to help you is to see pics of the entire enclosure as well as the lights and of the dragon itself. What the temps. are throughout the tank and how you are measuring them.

Hello,

Definitely when you can, please post pictures of
your dragon along with the tank setup so we can
see your lighting placement, etc.
Are you feeding him too late at night, too close to
his lights out?

He’s not wrong. Google sometimes is the enemy lol. There is a lot of outdated incorrect information on there. You might just need a few tweaks to your set up to fix lighting & temps.
(Just as a sidenote, I personally don’t feed fruits because they can’t process sugar. So feeding fruits does no good for them. If anything, too much can cause mouth rot)

Hello,

Please keep us updated on how he is doing.
I hope that he starts feeling better soon. Please post some pictures as soon as you can.
