Your dragon could be dehydrated --- please offer him some water by dropping it on his nose- do this till he quits licking- what kind of baby food were you feeding? He should have insects no bigger than the space between his eyes - what are you using for a UVB? a coil or a long tube fixture? What are the surface basking temps and how are you taking them? NO stick ons please you want a digital probe thermometer --- 105-110- the UVB and the surface basking temps are the most important things in the tank -- I can help you get the tank set up properly - this would cause impaction of these things are not correct ---Hi everyone,
We bought this little “guy” (not actually sure of their sex) at the end of July. We think it got blocked up and stopped eating for about a week and had blood in their poop. We gave Beardo baby food and bathed him. It then started eating, very excitedly for a few days- 15-20 per day. This then caused them to, we think, get blocked up again.
It has now been almost three weeks of them almost not eating, it will randomly eat 1-2 crickets and some baby food/fruit when prompted. We called the vet and they would like us to bring in a fresh stool and to test for parasites. He went poop today, but it was dry and flakey by the time we got home.
Here are a few pictures of him, does this look like yellow fungus?
Any other tips or advice??
We bought the ZooReptile dual light and upgraded the basking lamp to 150 watts since the 100 w wasn’t mAking his basking temp warm enough. We tried a digital probe but it was reading the room temperature not the actual temp in the enclosure and wasn’t rereading once in the setup.Your dragon could be dehydrated --- please offer him some water by dropping it on his nose- do this till he quits licking- what kind of baby food were you feeding?

Would this be the correct UVB light that he needs?Your dragon could be dehydrated --- please offer him some water by dropping it on his nose- do this till he quits licking- what kind of baby food were you feeding?

24 inches for a 40 gallon.(bulb will be 22 inches, the fixture is 24) the t8 work but need to be closer to your beardie. T5 are stronger bulbs. But either is usable.
I would go for the T 5 bulb as Tracie mentioned -they are better suitable for a 40 gallon tank --Would this be the correct UVB light that he needs?
