I see a hue of a red light please get rid of it--- dragons have a 3rd eye on top of their heads for predators and any colored lights will damage that eye not to mention other health hazards- why do you think hes sick? What kind of behavior are you getting from him? Please go over surface basking temps and how your getting them NO stickons they are inaccurate and good for ambient temps only - what are you using for a UVB? No coils they are inadequate

What is the brand and bulb of the UVB? They have certain distance and placement for T 5's and T 8's and your screen is going to determine where it needs to be place-- please get a digital probe thermometer they are the most accurate for surface basking temps -- get a solid clear bright white bulb for a basking bulb - please do not get any off white - yellowish or daytime bulbs - a good example of bulbs are Flukers basking - Exo Terra Intense or Arcadia Halogen -- the colored bulb is doing damage to the eyes
