Sounds like something got broke -- please get him into the vet for a XRay ---- www.arav.org-if your in a small area type in the biggest cities zip code closest to you- make sure hes got a good UVB NO coils --- long tube fixture I can post links to what you need --- good surface basking temps of 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer ---
I wish I had the money to take him to the vet
Keep his decor low and make sure your using the correct uvb and surface basking temps-- do not feed any insects bigger than the space between his eyes - they will impact him if they are too big - flagging your post to the vet tech on here -
He needs good UVB a long tube fixture - what are you using now? NO coils --- let me know I will post a link for the most reasonable and best one -- I am flagging your post Tracie will be able to help you shes a vet tech and has a website for some stuff that will help the pain
I'm not sure what a Uvb is and thank you so much
Dragons cannot live out uvb - please post a pic of the tank and lighting- in order for him to keep eating and live surface basking temps and uvb are crucial to his survival
Oh okay his light
Brand and bulb-- look on the bulb is this a mvb- mercury vapor bulb which is a all in one - basking and uvb-- you need two digital probe thermometers - he needs basking temps of 105-110 - this starts digestion uvb help him absorb his calcium he will stop eating if all this is not on par- he won't get better he will get worse- if you are not financially able to take care of him take him back to where you got him - he needs medical care
I've already talked to the people I got him from they will not help I will get a thermometer on there asap I know he needs medical care that's why I'm reaching out for help but no one seems to want to help me
You need to reach out to a rescue group then -- google rescue groups in your area and start making some calls - I can have you set up a hospital tank for now and see if we can get him better I dont know what is done w/ dragons w/ broken bones - I am trying to get Tracie to respond here -- she would know better than I -- I am posting a pic of a tank of what it should look like for his health -- but you need a good UVB and you have not answered as to what I was asking --- this is imperative to the dragons health --
UVB is ultra violate B, which in nature comes from the sun. When we have a house bound pet we provide the necessary to life UVB in the form of a light bulb designed for that purpose.
His tank is about a 8 by 16 is the uvb the regular light or the purple light I have a light that you can have the purple light and white light I didn't answer because I didn't know how to answer you I really am trying I've been feeding him applesauce out of a syringe and water
No colored bulbs --- please get a digital probe thermometer and get a surface basking temp- 105-110--- next please stop feeding applesauce - your dragon needs greens like collard mustard kale or turnip greens w/ some zucchini or yellow squash cut up - the apple sauce is going to make him go poop that is given when they are impacted please stop- he needs protein -- like live crickets which he wont be able to chase because he cant move his back legs so w/ that being said you need to order some BSFL medium size www.symtonbsf.com -- he needs this asap --- your dragon is not getting proper nourishment here is a website to look to see what you need to be feeding him -
