Not sure how to upload picture but mouth looks like it’s barely openedHi so I got my new dragon about a week ago from petco and he seems like he might have something wrong but not sure. I will post pictures but mouth looks like it’s glued shut and he barely opens his eyes. He has plenty of food and water and has a nice tank with a good heat lamp. I didn’t have this problem with my other dragon so I thought I would ask.
Please go over the surface basking temps and how you are getting them-- no stick ons please-- uvb coil or long tube fixture-- post pic of the dragon pleaseHi so I got my new dragon about a week ago from petco and he seems like he might have something wrong but not sure.

Ok new post to all the questions I have a uvb bulb I can see if I can find the brand not sure where box is. Updated/clearer photo of little guy. Would really like updates I wanna be able to make sure he lives a long healthy life. Eyes seem to stay shut and looks like something on his nose.Hello,
As Karrie has suggested, the temperatures are very important for overall health. If he isn't opening his
eyes much you will need to try & get some food into him another way. Use a plastic dropper or syringe
to get some chicken or turkey babyfood into him so he gets some nutrition.
We need to know which UVB light you are using & what type/brand it is? Is it a long fluorescent type of
bulb or a short compact type of coil light?

It looks like he might have something going on w/ some mouth rot possibly --- please get the crickets out of the tank and get some raw unpasteurized honey on his mouth -- it is effecting his eating and hes not going to last long since hes so young- please get some baby food chicken and baby food squash you can mix them make it a little watery so hes getting hydration and syringe feed him very slow-- you dont want him to aspirate - along w/ the eye sight that too would be effecting his eating-- is both eyes closed or one ? Please get your tank up to par w/ surface basking temps and your UVB -- please look on the bulb or please post pics of the lighting ---- NO colored bulbs NO off white bulbs-- NO daytime bulbs-- NO yellowish bulbs-- and please NO coils for UVB-- I want 2 other people to take a lookOk new post to all the questions I have a uvb bulb I can see if I can find the brand not sure where box is.

How long should I put the honey on for. And should I take it off with waterI'm sorry to hear about your new little dragon, he does look unwell. Some pet stores don't take good care of them so this is likely something that's been oncoming due to his previous care. Getting a bit of raw honey is a good idea, mix it with a bit of lukewarm water and he might even drink some and get some nutrients. His brad looks slightly puffed out, does he exhale and puff it out or exhibit any trouble breathing ?
