What kind of UVB are you using and what are your basking temps? How are you taking them? NO stickons digital probe only and NO coils for a UVB -- this is the first signs of improper lighting when they quit eating -- he looks terrible ---- what are you feeding but first we need to get the lighting figured out here ASAP ----
fruits/veg, dubia roaches, crickets, occasional hornworm but. im going to buy a reptisun t5 HO to replace the coil bulb
You need a 24" fixture https://www.pangeareptile.com/colle...o-med-reptisun-t5-hood?variant=26907425734756 this will come w/ a 5.0 bulb you need a 10.0 bhttps://www.pangeareptile.com/collections/t5-lighting/products/zoo-med-reptisun-10-0-uvb-t5?variant=26907418591332 22" for a 40 + gallon tank --- when you get the UVB please post back on here and I will help you get it set up in the tank distance and placement is key here - what are the basking temps and how are you taking them?
Please get him off the loose substrate --- you can use get some textured NON adhesive shelf liner cut to the size of the tank --- clean w/ vinegar/ water solution 50/50--- loose substrate harbors bacteria and can also cause impaction -- his diet is pretty good but we need to get him eating something and the correct lighting is going to do this along w/ correct basking temps -- I dont see any gauges in the tank for temps ---- please get 2 of these
thank you very much. I am going to local stores before choosing express shipping online but I will keep you posted.
What specific veggies and fruits do you feed him? Do you ever dust the food with calcium?
kale spinach small diced carrots lettuce strawberries. yes i use the dust for even insects

Ok so get it unobstructed NO screen the T 8's are not strong enough to go thru it -- get a piece of basking decor directly underneath it 6-8 inches when the T 5 comes in let me know --- please do not feed anymore spinach - kale mustard greens turnip greens and collards are great staple feeders --- your dragon has not been able to absorb / synthesize the calcium you have been feeding w/ the coil - please start dusting insects ONLY w/ calcium D3 - 5 x per week ONCE per feeding - offer him insects 2 times per day -- feed salads every day ignore the kale thing its a good staple http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
