did you get rid of the ants in the tank ? What are you using for a UVB? coil or tube ?
KarrieRee":1ff56uim said:Ok so the coil is a basking light? I would get rid of it for a solid bright white basking -- like a Exo Terra Intense basking bulb they are solid not a coil -- get one that keeps temps 95-100 for a adult bearded dragon-- taken w/ a digital probe thermometer-- the UVB is a tube what brand and bulb? and where in the tank is it -- distance and placement is crucial between the bulbs--- I am thinking a ant bit her or do you have a hammock in the tank? If so she could of snagged the toe in the hammock
KarrieRee":1hkx605n said:ok so I need you to post the lighting in the tank so I can see it---- the tube will have the brand and bulb on it look for T 8 or T 5 these things I am asking about is extremely important since your dragons over all health and behavior depend on this --- I cannot express this enough -- how are you getting basking temps?
KarrieRee":2jykgess said:Please get rid of the Thrive UVB bulb they are basically junk---- please get this bulb Reptisun 10.0 T 8 they are the best on the market as of now--- please place it in the tank w/ NO clear plastic cover over the bulb approx 6-8 inches directly over the basking decor piece -- the probe is the most accurate for temps -- IR guns can get thrown off by materials of basking decor --- please use the probe the IR gun will not read off of a hammock -- is there a reflector in the UVB fixture? Please look it will be a shiny piece behind the bulb--- Please NO sand -- the reptile carpet is better than sand - sand is unsanitary harbors bacteria -- if you want to get rid of the carpet opt for textured NON adhesive shelf liner or some slated ceramic tile -- cheaper and easier to clean up w/ vinegar/ and water 50/50-- the UVB is going to aid in getting the toe healed -- I am gonna have some others on here look at the toe and advise as to how to treat -- also the basking bulb is a coil? Please tell me what are in those domes? If anyone of them is colored please DONT USE it
KarrieRee":3tk915sc said:Ok so if there is no reflector on that fixture of which I have seen that Thrive fixture they do not come w/ reflectors in them that is why I asked --- I am going to post links to what you need for bulbs when you change that out and it needs to be ASAP as of now shes getting NO UVB -- she needs that and basking temps to be correct in order for her to thrive and be healthy -- if not she will quit eating and get sick --- so please be aware --

I dont know what that off color bulb is your using but you dont need it -- what are your night time temps - check first thing in the morning you dont want them below 65 at nite -- let me know I will help you get a fixture and bulb for that -- you want a temp of the whole tank - set the digital probe thermometer in the back of the tank center wall it will pick up the tanks temp-- No lights on at nite photo period 12 hrs on 12 hrs off --- we can go over her diet if you like --

As I've said everything I have I got with her so before she was eating crickets, mealworms, and mealworm beetles as well as what looks to be parsley or cilantro in some of the photos of her tank that the previous owner sent me but it looks like she just pushed it all around and didn't really eat it.
The guy I got her from wasn't too interested and didn't tell me too many details just kinda pushed her away and wanted to get rid of her quickly.
