I have a male dragon, 10 months old, 15" long. He lives in a 48" x 24" x 24" viv with silica reptile sand as substrate. Daytime heating is by a Realsun UVA and UVB 160 watt infra-red heating lamp, which is time clock operated from 8 in the morning till 8 at night. Night time heating is by a Exo Terra 250w ceramic heating lamp controlled by a pulse thermostat set at 80 degs, both of these are at one end of the viv. Basking temp below the lamp is approx 110 degs, at the centre of the cage 95 degs and at the other end of the cage around 90. He is feed on brown crickets, locust and wax worms all dusted with insect dusting powder. He is also provided with rocket, spring greens, dandilion leaves and flowers, bannana skin all of which he very rarely eats. He is bathed once a week. When he was young he pooped every day but the last 6-8 weeks he poops once a week if your lucky, he has taken to sleeping at the cold end of the tank, very rarely basks on his basking stone which is directly below the heat lamp unless he is put on there manually. He is not eating much of his live food either. He looks healthy and in good condition but is very sleepy and doesn't really do anything anymore which is in total contrast to what he was like 8 weeks ago. Any idea's anyone or is this completely normal.
