Hey guys I have a 1 year and 4 month old female bearded dragon. Her name is Draco.
Her enclosure is an 80 gallon tank 4 ft long by 1 foot wide 3 ft tall, I am in the process of saving up to get her a much larger enclosure. Hopefully after jan.
Her substrate is crushed walnuts, which I have been using since she was young, have not had any impactions issues however when I read signs of impaction being able to move is not something that should happen. I am not sure, but Draco is very active, I have gotten her beard to not be so dark but she still wont stop glass surfing. I will be changing the substrate soon
When I first saw her glass surfing, which she has done before but this time she moves around frantically and will stop and then go sit up under her heat lamp/UV. I have given her 2 or 3 hot lizard baths with giving her 4ml of olive oil 2 separate days. I can see her trying to poop but only a little is coming out. I breed my own Dubais and control there diet so she is not getting to much protein. I was wondering about the UV light.
The only thing I can think of is that her UV light is not big enough as I read this may affect digestion and breaking down of protiens. The uv light she has is the double heat plus UV from zilla. IT is not very big. Also she does not like eating any greens but I give the dubais a high fiber diet to try and suffice some plus what they normally eat.
