Are you leaving any insects or worms in the tank? It looks dried out--- please get some raw unpasteurized honey on it - please do not leave any crickets in the tank they will go straight for the tail- watch that it does not start to turn black the honey will promote healing and kill any infection- what kind of uvb are you using? No coils please
We have a reptisun uvb coil and we never leave crickets in the tank. I’ll try the honey on his tail tonight.
Please get rid of the coil they are a terrible UVB- if your using a 13 watt bulb they are the worst- if you have a 26 watt they are iffy but distance and placement is crucial - the UVB is extremely important for the dragons over all health and behavior
We recently switched to a tube uvb because we heard they are better. Thanks for the advice
What are you using and where is it in the tank top of screen or inside --- T 8's and T 5's have different placement and distance -- this is critical
It is inside the tank about 30cm from floor/15cm from basking spot and it’s a T8
Is there a in between that he can sit -- optimal is 6-8 inches -- make sure you get a new bulb in approx 6 months from install --- I recommend a month prior to --- you might want to look at upgrading the T 8 as well to the T 5 - you will need a new fixture tho and distance is going to be different as well
