First what are your surface basking temps? How are you getting them ? What kind of uvb- coil or long tube fixture? How long has it been since he pooped? How old is the dragon? Too many baths will dry his scales out- all these things I have asked are crucial - you can feed some plain canned pumpkin- feed till he poops

hes about 5 months old the basking temp on the warm side is 31 Celsius and on the cool side, 29 Celsius. he hasn't pooped for about 3-4 days. I'll try feeding him some plain canned pumpkin. also he doesn't really like when the basking temp is over 35 cuz he hides so I try to not let it go over.

Please tell me the brand of the basking bulb? NO off white NO yellowish or Daytime bulbs-- NO colored- it needs to be a clear solid bright white bulb example Flukers -- Exo Terra Intense or Arcadia Halogen -- his surface basking temps are not hot enough to start digestion - how are you getting those temps? It needs to be a digital probe thermometer -- stick ons are only giving ambient temp- please tell me what your using for a UVB - he should be going poop at least once per day at this age maybe twice -- what is his diet please?

Stick on gauges are not accurate please get a digital probe thermometer -- the Arcadia needs to be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor piece -- please no more baths - its going to stress him out more and dry his scales out --- hes eating thats good what kind of worms are you feeding salads?

The blue worm is it a horn worm? Those are good hydrating worms but not staple -- is he eating any of the salads? You can feed BSFL they are a small larvae good for babies they can be used for salad lures add 20-25 on top of his salads to get his attention for first feeding - they are a good compliment to his main staple insect -- if your surface basking temps are good and on par his digestion will kick in - that is important - also water it will keep it moving -- drop water on his nose every couple of days to see if he will lick - they get moisture out of the salads you feed so rinse the greens before serving
