How long have you had her? Shes probably going thru relocation stress but the completely not eating is not good---- please go over the UVB--- coil or long tube fixture they do expire and screens determine placement and distance for a long tube fixture -- coils are no good --- surface basking temps of 95-100 and should be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer -- please no colored - yellowish or off white or Daytime bulbs - all this needs to be on par - once we have determined the things I have mentioned and asked about we can move on from thereHelp!! Newly adopted 3 year old female bearded dragon. Previous owner says she is an amazing eater and she was first few days. Now won't eat nothing help please

It's inside enclosure t5I use long uvb, it's brand new bulb. Baskspot 102. Ambient about 74.
I've had her 3 weeksIt's inside enclosure t5
Is there a piece of basking decor directly under it 12-15 inches? Ok how are you getting the surface basking temps? Stick ons wont give surface temps-- ambient of 74 is on cool side or hot side? You want 80ish cool side during the day and ambient hot side around 100I've had her 3 weeks
What is your surface basking temps? They should be 95-100 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- those temps will give ambient temps of around 100-- or shouldUvb, basking bulb is 10-12 in. From platform. Hotside ambient is 84. What should I do???
Ambient around that is 84I have basking temp at 109
Ok if that's w/ a digital probe thermometer- please lower the temp- most adult dragons like 95-100-- try that see what the behavior is after that-I have basking temp at 109
Ok drop it back to the 99 or so- she's going thru relocation stress- everything else sounds good+ she's of good weight -- give her time to adjust and keep offering food- how does she get water?Ok....
....I'm thinking that's not the problem because it was 99 and I raised it. Noo difference in feeding
I spray greens and give water dishOk drop it back to the 99 or so- she's going thru relocation stress- everything else sounds good+ she's of good weight -- give her time to adjust and keep offering food- how does she get water?
Does she drink from the water dish?I spray greens and give water dish
Ok just make sure she doesn't aspirate- they can really fastI gave her water in a 10cc syringe, never seen her drink
