Hi there. I am new here.
I have been keeping reptiles, including beardies, for many years. I recently got a dragon (the first in ten years) from Carolina Classic Dragons! The are highly recommended. Anyway, I have had the dragon about two weeks. I just moved him from a small see through tote into his enclosure, which I got from Boa Master Cages. Also great as you guys already know. I have his hot spot at a little over 100 degrees and the other end is at around 87 degrees. The problem is that I have been using a reptiglo 10.0 from Exo Terra. I know the reviews about these lights and have already ordered a retisun online (I used to use them specifically, but could not find one around here). My dragon, since yesterday, has been refusing crickets (he/she gobbles at least 15 in a sitting) and is beginning to close one eye constantly. Could it be from the light?? He had that on him before. It is next to the heat lamp which has a bright white household bulb in it. The bulb is probably around 9 inches from the closest perch. Any advice. He does not look him/herself. His underside has those circle type blotches and if I remember correctly, this is not always a good sign. My reptisun was ordered from pet mountain yesterday. What do I do in the mean time?
Please help.
