New dragon not eating much.

[ampacheco]

I just got my first dragon from someone off Craig's list. Let me start off by saying, temps -100-105, 30-40% humidity, 10.0 uvb tube, 6 month old female, 40 gallon breeder. This new bearded dragon seemed quite normal as far as health is concerned, but when I got her, she ate like 7 crickets the first time than decreased the intake amount to 1-2 a day. She's well hydrated, hasn't tried eating any greens I offered and tends to bask all day. Doesn't look skinny, I put her In a 10 gallon tank to feed, and after the 2 she eats , she wants to get out and feel the heat again, whether my hand or her enclosure. Had her for Less than a week and concerned as to why she Isn't eating more and more, during the day she always just chills out and keeps one eye open to look around , and the other closed .. Please help

Hi. She probably has relocation stress and that can last a week or 2. Is the uvb a coil/compact or a long tube?

It's a 10.0 18inch tube light

Her set up sounds good. Probably just needs time to adjust.

That's what I'm thinking. Her behavior seems normal and she wakes right up when the lights turn on. At least she's eating something. When I hold her, she tends to give me a little lick than lies completely flat on my hand for warmth. It'll just make me feel better seeing her ear varciously, ya know lol
