Hello,

Great to hear he has been on probiotics then. It sounds like it has helped him out also.
Yes, either UVB light would be terrific. As Karrie suggested, they are both great.
Please keep us updated on your dragon.

I will keep you updated, thanks.

Please get the Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb -- the 5.0 would need to be unobstructed and placed directly over the basking decor piece 6-8 inches and changed out in 5 months--- the 10.0 can stay on to IF the screen is a wide hole type please let me know -- we want the UVB set up correctly

I have replaced the UVB with the zoomed Reptisun T5, positioned above basking and temps are good, same with humidity, he is still not eating and hiding. I am unsure on what to do, as I've tried everything.

I've tried feeding him roaches, crickets and mealworms. He will only eat mealworms. And no salad. Still, he sleep in the middle of the day in summer. I also give him warm bath, which he did poop in yesterday so not impaction.

Should I get a blood test?

How did you get the T 5 placed and distanced?

Ah! The reptile shop gave me 5.0. There is no mesh around it or anything blocking, is it still okay?
I would get the 10.0 distance would be 12-15 inches expires in in 10-11 months -- 5.0 5 months expiration 6-8 inches for that one

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
