Hello I'm new but I'm worried. I adopted a 3 year old male dragon 2 weeks ago & he was eating. He even ate some salad because I snuck a few worms in.
I had him outside too for real sun besides his UV.
Problem is that he began brumating(?) 5 days ago on the cool side of his tank. We were both still getting to know each other & he never pooed since I've had him.
Now that he's gone to sleep before pooing I'm worried about the food he had eaten for days beforehand.
By the way I tried soaking him a few times in warm water before sleeping & he HATED it! I couldn't keep him in there for more than 30 seconds. In fact being inexperienced, I experienced a nasty bruise from a bite when he wheeled around at my stomach.
Sorry for the long post but should I give him to someone more experienced? I've researched my head off but I just worry about all of this.
