I know how you feel, I get up 3 or 4 times a night . With the shedding and me not knowing anything. I just hope I am doing more good then harm. His name is Earl he was eating a little spring miss today but he really isn't moving and his poor eyes a puffed up from shedding.

The lighting in the tank is the key here --- good basking temps of 95-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/en...um-digital-thermometer-14914.html?cgid=500202 NO stick ons they are inaccurate--- UVB NO coils please they are inadequate--- what size is the tank? You need a long tube fixture -- a 24" fixture for a 40 + gallon tank ---- like this https://www.amazon.com/Reptisun-260...620310960&sprefix=Zoo+Med+24"+,aps,191&sr=8-2
this comes w/ a 5.0 bulb hang on to it for a back up distance and placement is different from the 10.0 -- the bulb should be switched out for a 40 gallon tank --- if your using a smaller tank the 5.0 would be fine but it would have different distant placement - all this needs to be correct for your dragon to be healthy and eating-- these things I have just posted are the MOST IMPORTANT things in the tank -- the UVB controls the absorption of the calcium and prevents MBD along w / a ton of other health issues --- you need a solid bright white basking bulb NO coils and NO heat mats NO colored bulbs NO heat rocks ---- if you need more help please ask --- do not buy Zilla brand or Thrive brand --- the things I posted are the best on the market at this time for UVB ---
