Okay so I’ve had my dragon for a little over a year he has always been a good eater and for some reason a little over a week ago he just stopped eating I’ve given him a bath or 2 and got him to drink water but he won’t eat not even with the worm in his face moving around he is not active I’ve googled everything but this is my first dragon
What are the dragons basking temps and how are you taking them? NO stick ons please--- next the UVB what are you using? NO coils -- they are inadequate----- we always go over lighting first ---- this controls the over all health and behavior in the dragon

Please NO colored bulbs ---- the 150 watt bulb is a bright white bulb? And where is the UVB? Or is the 150 watt a MVB --- brand and bulb of each that your using ----- this is imperative

You need a UVB---- one bright white basking bulb is good but the dragon is not eating --- the dragon is not able to absorb the calcium / synthesize it -- your dragon is developing MBD -- w/ out a UVB they will not live --- you need to get a 24" fixture like this https://www.petmountain.com/product/zoo-med-reptisun-t5-ho-high-output-terrarium-hood this will come w/ a 5.0 bulb hang on to it for a back up distance and placement is different from the one you need
you need this bulb 22" https://www.petmountain.com/product/zoo-med-reptisun-t5-ho-100-uvb-high-output-bulbs
Distance and placement is crucial please let me know when you get this and it needs to be ordered ASAP -- your dragon will not eat w/ out it --- hes getting sicker by the day --
Make sure basking temps are what I posted please and you have a digital probe thermometer- let me know when you get the UVB I will help you get it placed in the tank
Hi Megan, it is likely to be what Karrie mentioned that you need a good uvb bulb. But some dragons will go off food at times as adults for a number of reasons .Can you post pics of your dragon [ full body pic ] as well as the enclosure + lights ? Here's how :
