Ok feed her 3 hrs before lights out she needs time to bask - please take the water bowl out- dragons usually don't drink from them - they get most of their moisture from their salads- rinse her greens before serving- you can also drop water on her nose or feed her out of a eye dropper- 75 is good you don't want any warmer check temps in morning
Yes I agree with Karrie the water bowl is not needed plus it adds humidity. The heat emitter does snuff out humidity but you don’t want to run it at 75 degrees. When I was getting use to my nighttime temps, I would get up every couple hours to check if it’s too cold and if it’s drops below 65 you can run emitter and raise and lower your lamp stand until you get it back to 70ish.

Is this w/ the water bowl in there over night? If so take it out -- its not 70% or over so lets see what it does during the day? The humidity always goes up at nite and you have her on the floor right now correct -- I dont know if that makes a difference but I do recommend getting her off the floor - its cold and drafty so as soon as you can do that we can see if that makes a difference as well -- in the mean time you can place a sock w/ rice in it that will draw the moisture out of the tank - this is only needed if its getting too high -- like close to 70%

Cute pic -- I haft to ask is that lettuce? If so please dont feed her ice berg lettuce - no nutritional value and its good for hydration once in awhile---- it will give her real watery poop -- I posted a nutrition website for you I think -- I did its back on page 2 --

Good thing you said that I don’t think she ate any today she just stared at it but she loved chasing after the crickets thing is the front of her tank isn’t covered with a background, obviously front pics, but earlier I think she saw herself in the front and jumped off her Rock right into the glass then started trying to climb the bottoms to see the glass. The black on the bottom I guess this tank you can pull the bottom out so it’s not glass all the way down so when she on the ground she don’t see herself just on her rocks and platform..the pic is just showing what I mean by not all glass I just didn’t want her to like hurt her head or something cuz it sounded kinda hard

Protein is her main diet now but salads should be offered every morning- you want her eating even a bite or two and make sure you rinse the greens before serving -- get some BSFL they are a great staple feeder -- I would get medium size and add them to her salads in front of her so it attracts her to the bowl

www.dubiaroaches.com this has good roaches better feeder than crickets and BSFL also called nutri grubs -- I would rinse them off they are small - feed as many as you want-- you can get her some small super worms as well feed 1-3 every other day -- make sure your dusting the main staple feeder -- she maybe exploring the tank or saw something on the floor -- not sure

The link to that feeder site Karrie gave you is the most reasonable money wise and always good healthy feeders

Nutrigrubs (bsfl) are high in calcium and protein don’t even need to dust great for babies. The d3 and calcium dusting on everything else. Unless your doing silkworms those are high calcium too.

Urgent question as soon as you can read this, I ordered 2 days shipping but I’m not it says it won’t be here til the 12-13th which is 3-4 days from now plus the last 2 without uvb… but Yeah I ordered the nutri grubs and the dubia roaches, even today the humidity was going up so I put the heat emitter like kinda far away so it’s being the temp up a little and humidity down a little.

What is the humidity? Are you in a warm area like 65 degrees or more?

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
