Hello all,
I have two dragons that I got from steve at bloodbank. Both have been doing great then all the sudden. About a month ago the male stopped eating as much and now doent eat at all. He is very thin compared to the female who eats everyday. I have been doing some reading on here and found it could be a couple of things.
Here are the cage stats.
50 breeder front sliders
There is one red heat light on one side of the tank that is on at all times
there is one white heat bulb that is on for 12hrs a day or so.
then on the other side of the cage there is a 18in 5.0 retile-sun bulb
there is no substrate in the cage.
the warm side is anywere from 96-105
the cool being 70-75
there is a water dish on the cool side that has water and veggies in it.
I recently read that they should be under 10.0 reptile sun bulbs so the white heat bulb was changed out to a 10.0 25w reptile sun bulb. I feed a wide range of insect from roaches (dubia and discords) to crickets and mealys. the salad is avail at all times to them with dandolion leaves, carrot, zuccine, mustard greens, and colord greens.
here are my problems:
Male wont eat or eats very little
Female seems to have troble sheding but is pooping alot of white, and she seems to be either throwing up or not digesting?
I read that they could throw up cause they eat to much in on siting? I usually keep feeding them as long as they will eat. Any recomendations? Bulbs were changed out with in the last 24hrs. can get some pics of setup if needed
thanks
