How old is the dragon? Most adult dragons 6 months and older like temps 95-100 F-- what kind of basking bulb? Any off white yellowish or daytime bulbs are not recommended along w/ colored bulbs- what is the uvb your using? Coil or long tube fixture

She is 6 months old i was told between 38 and 42 is this too hot for her??

I would lower it to 95-100 F-- are you getting that temp w/ a digital probe thermometer-? And is the bulb a solid bright white basking bulb

Well it was probably to hot because we had it at 41c

Is that a combo temp/ hygrometer? I see the % the probe should be on the back center wall of the tank - try adjusting your surface basking temp and see what the dragon does -

Yes it is and yes probe is in centre of vivarium

Ok so the 60% is good - is that the daytime humidity when lights are on? How high is it at night before lights on
