The first thing you need to have correct in order for him to live and NOT be sick is the lighting in the tank -- proper UVB and proper basking temps--- so I can tell you what NOT to have --- NO COIL UVB'S - the next thing is you need basking temps to be 95-110 for adult / juvie and 105-110 for a baby - temps MUST be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer -- stick ons are for ambient temps ONLY --- your UVB should be a long tube fixture like a Zoo Med or Sunblaster or Arcadia - for tanks 40+ gallon a 24" fixture w/ a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb or Arcadia 12% Desert bulb -- those are the best on the market - if you need more help w/ diet / the lighting or anything else please ask
NO colored bulbs - NO heat mats and NO heat rocks

What is the temp where he's sitting? You need the digital probe thermometer I posted earlier- where is the UVB?

I don’t have a thermometer but I will get one

 

[Vheefresch]

Should I just let him walk on the glass

 

[Vheefresch]

Should I just let him walk on the glass what should I put in the bottom of his tank

 

[Zontar’s Mom]

Is that the only light in his tank? It seems he is missing the uvb light which is critical for beardies to have

 

[Vheefresch]

It’s the only one I have

 

[Sadie]

Is he glass surfing? Please get your temps in that tank and a UVB your dragon will not live w/ out both of those --- take the digital probe thermometer and place the probe where hes been sitting for basking--- wait 10 minutes and then get the temp he looks like hes about 4-5 months old am I correct? He needs this UVB ASAP -- I cannot stress this enough - if you dont get one here soon he will start to get sick and develop MBD --- I will post links to what you need if you need them ---- I posted earlier what to get for a UVB

As long as its a bright white and it appears to be and is keeping basking temps to what they need to be - but we will not know till you get that probe

Better picture of him the other one you posted he looked smaller I am guessing 6 months --- where did you get him and if from someone else how old was he when they got him and how long did they have him for ?
