[QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 2013643, member: 97951"] Ok so lets address the UVB bulb first -- what size fixture and the brand of the fixture please-- next please lay off the bathing too many baths will dry out the scales --- please let his shedding do its thing - when its dry and crackly spray him then take a soft baby toothbrush and gently brush him - it will take off the loose stuff and scratch him at the same time -- next your humidity in the tank helps the dragon w/ shedding - you want optimal humidity of 40-50% nothing under 20 and over 70% that should be taken w/ a digital probe hygrometer placed on the back center wall of your tank -- analog gauges are inaccurate -- do not try and stop your dragon from going into brumation if he is a year old and at least 300 grams or over he should be able to brumate unless he is sick --- your dragon should be getting his calcium D3 on his insects you know hes going to eat those and for a year old dragon he should only be getting that 2-3 times per week when you feed insects and if your using a T 5 UVB --- vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 times per week on his insects unless he eats his salads good - then you dont need to worry about the vitamins cuz hes gonna get those nutrients thru them -- temps at night in the tank should be 65-75 -- unless he is sick - then you want them warmer and using your ceramic heat emitter - too warm of temps in the tank at night will not let his system metabolize -- [/QUOTE]
