I have three dragons....Lizzy (5 month) Lenny (4 months) and Lucy (1 month). The older of the three are in custom enclosures (3 feet long two feet high and about 1 1/2 feed deep) with basking temps of high 90's, cool side in the mid 70's, and a reptisun 10 uvb bulb. The youngest is in a 20gal with a basking spot of 105, cool side of mid 70's, and also a reptisun 5. I am wondering if i am doing something to cause them to lose their color? I had reptiglo bulbs because they were recommended to me and then i read all of the negative talk about them and switched bulbs. Their diet consists of dubia, kale, collard greens, and cantaloupe. I dust with calcium and vitamins at least twice a week with the older ones and every feeding with Lucy. I soak them 1-2 times a week. Right now i believe Lenny is having some stress from being moved to his new cage and can cause them to be darker and same with Lizzy. That was a week ago tomorrow. But Lizzy lost her colors months ago.....is this just part of them getting older? I thought their colors were to come out more every time they shed? I am going to enclose pictures in this order.....Dragons when i got them, current, and the cage that they are in ....
Lizzy
