New 1 month old dragon won't eat.

[Jay95]

I got him 2 days ago, He won't eat. He's in good health though he's very active, and alert, I've been feeding him reptaboost everyday to get something in him and kickstart his appetite back up but so far no luck, He doesn't have stress marks or a black beard so im not sure if its relocation stress unless that doesn't show physically, Anyways is this normal, should he be eating again soon?

The most important thing in the tank is the lighting --- basking temps 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer NO stick ons they are inaccurate-- UVB NO coils --- those two things control the over all health of your dragon -- relocation stress will effect their appetite but they should not completely quit eating --- if you need help w/ getting any thing I have mentioned please ask - what size is the tank ? If you want post pics of the tank and set up --

Where is the T 5? Top of screen or inside the tank? It is very important for proper placement- is your screen a fine mesh like a screen door or a wide holed type? The basking temps are being taken w/ a digital probe thermometer?

As long as the distance is 12-15 inches w/ basking decor directly underneath you are good - basking temps are good so he will acclimate to his tank - let him get used to the surroundings --- make sure you are also feeding salads -- I would get him some BSFL to add to the tops of those salads feed as many as you want it will draw him to the bowl - you will need a glass or ceramic bowl so the insects and worms cant get out - if you need websites for worms / insects let me know I will post here is a website for nutrition ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder
