[zman24]

Ok so i have had my lizard for about a year and a half now. He hasnt been eating alot for the past week and wont open one of his eyes. when i pick him up he is very slugish and doesn't want to move. also he wont chase or go after any crickets i drop into the cage like usual. Please help i have no idea how to help him.

Take him to a vet. What are the lighting conditions that you have for his tank?

 

[zman24]

I have a 60w lamp on one side were he usually is and the other side is his food and water dishes

Do you use any type of UVB light?

 

[Claudiusx]

Yes, you must have a UVB light for your beardie or else your beardie won't be able to absorb calcium and other nutrients which can lead to metabolic bone disease and other illnesses.

Hello,

Can you post a picture of your dragon please?
As previously asked, what type & brand of UVB lighting are you using, is it a flourescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light? IF you have a UVB light, how old is it?
What are the temps in the tank, & what type of thermometer are you using? Is it a round, stick on analogue type, a digital probe or a temp gun?
Do you provide calcium supplementation at leats 3 times per week? What do you feed him?
