Do find out because their requirements to work properly are very different. The t5 can be above a screen and around 12-15 inches away from your beardie while the t8 can't be blocked by a screen and should be around 6-8 inches away from your beardie. I feel like it would tell you which one it was on the inside where the bulb is kept.
Thanks, I though it was about time for a change lol
If you look on the bulb itself it will tell you brand and bulb--- the difference between the two is very important for placement and distance
Yes that would be a T 8 -- please get it in the tank or NO screen please --- this would cause him not to eat - the UVB rays are not getting to him --- and please NO cover either --- that UVB is extremely important along w/ basking temps-- please get a digital probe and get your temps -- this all would cause not eating the runny poops along w/ other issues -these things I am mentioning are the two most important things in the tank-- you need the distance to be 6-8 inches directly above him --
Oh and we are going to change the sand to carpet just letting you know.
Keep an eye on the weight- keep him hydrated-- they can go long periods of not eating-- his poop is not real runny? Bad smelling like enough to leave make you leave the room? Could be age they do tend to slow down along w/ the season- as long as he's active basking and kept hydrated and not losing weight he should be ok-- keep offering he will eventually start eating again-- if anything I mentioned is off you might want to get him to the vet
Full grown ones can go 1-3 months I think
He still poops every day, it's green and runny, and its the size of bird poop.
He might have parasites-- has a recent fecal been done? That would effect appetite- if no fecal has been I would take a sample in drop it off and have one done! NO ENEMAS!! they can end w/ disastrous results
He still poops every day, it's green and runny, and its the size of bird poop and it's not smelly at all. He is active, I put him on the living room floor today and we was waking around and he's always near he's basking light. I tried to feed him one mealworm but he kept waking away... And we do give him water every day form the spray bottle or in the tub but somedays he won't drink at all....
get him tot he vet nooow he most likely has parities get a test and just go go to
Ok so it's probably him - if he had parasites the smell would be so bad you couldn't stand it--- what are you feeding? Too much hydrated veggies like lettuce cucumbers squash green peppers will cause runny stools - basking temps and UVB as well
We feed him kale, carrots, banana and mealworms. banana is more like a treat thogh so we don't give him it every day and we try to add carrots with the kale once in a while.

Sorry to hear all this. 366 grams seems light weight. Maybe try organic baby food such as chicken, veal, sweet potatoes, green beans. I used to give my Zontar that on a spoon to lick or I would need to open his mouth to force feed. He was ten years old and wasn’t eating much.
his 326g now and my dad and I do sometimes force feed him.
So ya that’s I bit to low a dragons that’s 12+ months should 380-510.
