Does he do alot of glass surfing?
yes he has been a lot. he’s in a 40gal atm but i’m going to be upgrading him asap. is it a bruise from hitting it against the glass?
That's what it looks like- if you take him out for awhile and put him back in does he quit? Also uvb and basking temps play a role as well-- are you using a coil UVB? And are you taking basking temps w/ a digital probe thermometer?
He does quit after getting out but will do it later again. he does this a few times a day. i am using a reptisun 10.0 uvb across cage and i am currently not using a digital thermometer in the tank. i am looking to upgrade it though as well because after watching info videos on youtube the last few days, i learned they seem to not be accurate. along with that i want to upgrade the hygrometer and get a heat gun thermometer to get temps..the thermometer i have says 90° at the moment on the hot side (like i said prob not super accurate not sure) but i don’t know what temp it is at his basking spot.
What is the UVB T 8 or a T 5? Screen is it a wide hole or fine mesh? The digital probe thermometer is the most accurate your going to get ---- The IR guns are good but certain materials will throw that gun off thats why its important to have the digital probe =---Zoo Med makes good ones -- most use Zoo Med -- so the 90 your getting on the hot side is ambient temps? Or spot where the dragon is sitting? You want a heat gradient of 95-110 for basking temps - a nice piece of decor will give that one that gives different places to sit stand lay on or lay against -- like this https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/ha...riftwood-reptile-decor-54734.html?cgid=500116 I use them in my tanks and my dragons love them -- you can set them different ways in the tank -- I did have the stick on hygrometer but have gone to digital probe ones now - the probe is on the back middle wall of the tank w/ the reader on top of screen -- the glass surfing can be caused by temps being too hot -- or incorrect UVB but w/ the tube fixture I need to know where you have it placed - the distance and placement between the two bulbs is crucial -- if your basking spot is at 90 its not hot enough -- you want that basking temp at least 95- is the food completely digested? You will get undigested food if temps are too low
The probe for hygrometer is on back wall- set your probe thermometer on the place where he sits to bask--- is there a reflector on the UVB fixture? If not you need to get one
