    Brumation or other problem young dragon

    Have good news, it's going 100 times better with him now. He is very active doesn't sleep all day anymore. Actually barely takes naps during day. I bought some Repashy grub pie for him so he gets couple ml of that mixed with some veggies. Eats it like a champ out of a syringe, actually is...

    Brumation or other problem young dragon

    Another update. He is definitely more active since the light and perch him self up on his log to catch some rays. Eating on the other hand is still not good. We basically force feed him everyday. couple dubias maybe a meal worm here and there. Tried blue berry's other day but he just licked...

    I'm orignally from Ohio so know all these names. I can get wax worms tomorrow at the pet store. Never offered them to him might have to force some in there again. But little extra fat should help him I think he was ( still kind of ) way to skinny.

    One problem I live in Belgium haha. But I cant get most of these insects here from the same website I ordered my dubia colony. Yes basking under his UVB bulb on the cold side and also likes to run op te steps to his hot spot definitely more active just his appetite is not quit there yet. But it...

    No veggies, averaging about 4 dubias a day now. I try to give him some veggies when he is chowing down on his dubia but he just spits it out. He is more active though and lays under the light now by him self. Plus 3-5 dubias a day before I was lucky if he ate a 5 insects in a weak. It is kind of...

    I think this light will be fine. He still has shade to hide. front of the tank the levels of UVB will be a lot lower as well. Just need to hang some mesh under the light where his basking spot is since that is little too close. Also he got really dark laying on this branch and was soaking up...

    The light finally showed up. After 2 broken ones arrived. So let's see how this goes. He has been more active past week. Running around and stuff but still not eating good. between 5 dubia roaches one day following by 1 dubia roach next day and its like that the whole time. So lets hope this...

    Perfect I wll just keep an eye on him and maybe or a ceramic heat thing soon so he doesnt have light directly pointed at him.

    I did not know this was going to be an issue when I ordered this light but yes its almost the length of the tank. I could slide it all the over to the right like this picture. Another option to lower the UVB rays is with this mesh that has 1mm holes. Could drap a small piece under the light...

    If I do that the basking bulb would be too close maybe 4 inches away. Only way I can get rid of the light shining onto him like that is maybe go with a ceramic heat bulb

    I think I have figured it out! 10-12 inches is ideal with this 10.0 t5 bulb. So its really easy to attach this fixture to the bottom of these glass support beams you see in the picture below (picture 1). Since it is hanging below I dont have to worry about glass blocking any UVB. The bottow of...

    Brumation or other problem young dragon

    ah ok I get it now. Right now the basking light is hung so that the basking spot is between 100-105 F so might have to get a stronger bulb then. But then I have this feeling the over tank will heat up more. I did get a 36 inch light so I can kind of hang it lower towards the front of the tank...

    Brumation or other problem young dragon

    pic of the tank is higher up in the thread. That beige looking stuff I cant move. Made that my self with Styrofoam, plaster and waterbased clear coat. If I put it on top of the glass then the basking spot would be ideal but rest of tank will be too far away from they light. plus the glass...
