Hi ! sorry to hear she isn't doing well at all.
Could you tell us how old she is ?
How are you measuring those temps ?

Now, usually when a dragon throws up, either it is not warm enough for digestion, * that's why I asked how old she was, low temps like that are usually fine for adults, but younger dragons prefer higher temps*,
Or the food was too large for her to eat and digest.
Keeping feeders to no longer than the distance between the eyes is highly recommended.
Let us know,please
Janie.

she is only about 9-10 inches long and about 1 month old

her temps are 95-100

and im measuring this with a temp gun

 

[zebraflavencs]

Okay, so it is the temps that are the issue here. Raise the basking temps to around 105 and see if that doesn't make a difference. Also, 1 month old is very fragile, so you will need to take extra care with her. However, I am heartened to see her length, that is some great growth for one so small... Are you sure she is only 1 month old ? Not closer to 10-12 weeks ? Do you have a hatch date for her ?
Also, once you raise those temps, try bathing her in baby warm water daily, this will help keep her hydrated, and she might turn out to be a "tub pooper" Easy for clean ups !
Keep us posted on her progress.
Janie.

i dont think its her temps thought cause this just started happening before she was pooping fine and everything and now all of a sudden she is doing this.

email sent

 

[zebraflavencs]

Received. Thanks.
So what UVB are you supplying her ? I see you say a reptiSun 10.0 . I can't see a basking spot either. You can either mail me that, or just describe here.
Janie.

i have a 36 inch long reptisun 10.0 uvb and 150 watt basking lamp for her to bask under and she is in a 20 gallon tank since she is small still


what r ur thoguhts on the pictures

 

[zebraflavencs]

For one, she is beautiful. the other is yes, she looks a bit off.
You said in the Health thread you are returning her to the breeder. Yes ? Perhaps he/she can figure out what is happening. We can normally pinpoint on things, but It appears you have the correct everything. Heat, UVB, so I am not quite sure where to take this.
Perhaps Drache316 can offer something more than I, She is quite a bit more knowledgeable than I am, though I do try hard to help as much as I can. Sometimes it just takes that right set of eyes to figure out things.
Janie.
Would you like me to place your photos here ? I think I can.

I didn't see the pics but we did have Zoom in a 20 gallon tank last year when we first got her and she was very small. I think the 150 watt basking bulb may be making the temps a little to hot. I never needed more than a 60 watt, and, even tho I'm in AZ, I can't see how you would need any thing bigger than a 75 watt even in the winter. Maybe you should check the batteries in your temp gun?

 

[zebraflavencs]

Also, have you tried bathing her daily ? She might be dehydrated. Young dragons are indeed prone to this, and looking again at the pictures, that just might be the issue. Bath her in water to her shoulders with either your hand or a soft cloth under her claws for stability, for 15 minutes in baby warm water (90-100*F).
See if that doesn't help out.
Janie.

to zebra

i tried the bathing this whole week and her body doesnt change she just stays like she looks and doesnt drink

but i hope the breeder can do something for her she is a beautiful girl and i would hate to lose her to something


to the guy/girl who wrote before zebra

temp gun batteries are fine i live in NJ and the temp gun reads it correctly right where she is sitting

 

[zebraflavencs]

To everyone, the pictures under my last post are of the dragon we are speaking of. The OP was kind enough to email me these, and I added them to my photobucket account to post here for him.
