He looks fine. What is the problem?? Dragons get all their moisture from vegetables, crickets etc and baths every now and then. They don't require drink bottles as that only creates a humid atmosphere which they hate. Remember they are desert creatures ;)

Typical Symptoms being sunken eyes, unusually bunchy/tented skin, sometimes lack of appetite is from dehydration (digestion requires lots of moisture), as well as lethargy. Constipation can also be a symptom of inadequate hydration.

Water needs to go in via the mouth, so making sure the greens are fresh and juicy and that your feeders are well hydrated goes a long way. I spray Pepper in the morning but only as much as he will drink - 3x a day is probably a bit much especially since he isn't drinking it. Sometimes adding a little juice or squeezing a berry in the water and offering by a dripped will get him to take the water better.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
