[QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 2005675, member: 97951"] Ok first we need to fix the lighting issue--- the UVB needs a reflector- A good reflector will essentially double the UVI level at a specific distance compared to a UVB bulb in a fixture without a reflector-- this is what you want -- I recommend getting either a Zoo Med or a Arcadia Pro T 5--- what brand are you using now? You want the UVB directly over the basking decor piece- 12-15 inches inside the tank - if the screen on the tank is a wide hole type it can stay on top and distance would be 8-10 inches-- Next please get two digital probe thermometers -- they are the most accurate for surface basking temps-- 95-100 for a juvie/ adult dragon--- the glass surfing could be caused by temps in the tank - you want 3 temps a basking surface temp middle of tank temp 90's and a cool side of the tank 80's during the day --65-75 at night ambient temp- these things I have mentioned are crucial to the dragons health --- Please no more blueberries --- they are very high in sugar and should only be fed occasionally --- I would switch him over to dubia roaches they are better nutritionally and easier to keep than crickets --- he needs fresh salads everyday [URL="http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html"]Nutrition Content[/URL] ignore the kale info it is outdated -- I can post websites for insects / worms if you like - I would also recommend getting a larger tank for him -- a 120 gallon is the best option for size for a adult dragon - also another reason the UVB can be causing the glass surfing as well -- once you get this fixed w/ the lighting and temps and diet the poops should straighten out- but I would hold off on the vet for now- its only going to cause more stress for him --- if you need more help please ask [/QUOTE]
