First lets go over the UVB your using---- if your using a coil UVB it needs to be replaced immediately-- surface basking temps what are they how are you taking them? NO stick ons please digital probe thermometer -- incorrect lighting and temps can mimic brumation so we want to eliminate that first -- then we will move on
I have the tube T5 I believe for UVB and red heat lamps. Digital probe thermometer
Red heat lamps get rid of them immediately - they will cause eye issues - dragons have a third eye on top of their heads and are very sensitive to light they are used for predators- your dragon needs a clear solid bright white basking bulb like flukers basking exo Terra intense or a Arcadia halogen-- please get this asap- what type of screen is on the tank? Fine mesh like a screen door or a wide holed type? This is going to determine where the uvb needs to be placed and distanced-
Wide hole mesh like.
Please shut the red lights off --- they are doing a lot of damage and this is why your getting the dragons behavior-- you want to mimic the sun and the solid clear bright white bulb is the next best thing--- red bulbs or any colored bulb will damage the dragons eyes - they disrupt sleep - your dragon needs cool and dark w/ temps 65-75 at night- any cooler you can get a CHE ceramic heat emitter -- it emits heat NO light -- please get a piece of basking decor directly under the UVB 8-10 inches --- after you get the new basking bulb please let me know what his behavior is --- what are his surface basking temps?
The uvb is on the side of the tank? It should be directly above him- are you using a digital probe thermometer-
Turn them on and off as usual- photo period is normally 12 hrs on and 12 hrs off- - sometimes shorter in the winter and longer in the summer
