The analog hygrometer is inaccurate--- please get a digital probe hygrometer place on the back center wall of the tank -- I see one light for the dragon and hes a baby hes growing and needs UVB -- what is that light? brand and wattage please -- your substrate is going to be hard to keep clean I recommend getting some textured NON adhesive shelf liner cut to the size of the tank --- unsanitary tanks can lead to yellow fungus and your fountain will cause a RI -- dragons are a desert reptile --- fountains are for your water or aquatic reptiles -- I see no temp gauges another MUST have in the tank -- he needs certain temps of 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer or he will not be able to digest his food -- if any of this is not on par your dragon will quit eating and the UVB is what prevents all kinds of illnesses along w/ a very bad one called MBD
I got him a uv bulb and I got a uv meter reader his basking spot under the uv is a 6.0 uv rays. And the basking bulb I got up now is on a digital heat controller. The temps are all correct and the humidity is 47 percent right now without any fans to move the wet air out.

What is the brand and bulb of the UVB? Where is it? I did not see it in the pics---- those card readers are inaccurate --- best measurements for UVB are a solar meter 6.5

Ok thats a good meter --- :) but you need a digital probe hygrometer -- the Arcadia is a Pro T 5? What exactly are you measuring for the output of the reader? There should be a piece of basking decor your getting that reading off of? The fountain is NOT a good basking decor piece

Yes he's eating and pooping regularly I get his food wet with a spay of water so he gets more hydration
