Firstly, Move the viv away from the window. The direct sunlight coming into a glass tank acts like a giant magnifying glass which could easily kill your dragon on a sunny day.

Secondly, your dragon is receiving no uvb at all from being near the window. Glass filters out nearly 99% of all uvb radiation. So any uvb that does get through your window (nill at best) will be stopped by the glass in the dragons tank.

Thirdly, what bulb are you using? And what type of fixture?
We can't help you unless you provide us details..

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!
