meet girlie ahe lives in Vermont . She is around 14 months old and healthy. This has been her issue we spent a lot of time outside this summer. She know believes this is where she goes to the bathroom. I was ok with this until a few weeks ago now it's 20 to 30 degrees. She won't go in the bath she is a diva and won't go it her bath water. She has gone twice but it seems to be 9 to 14 days in between.

Dragons can go weeks to a month w/ out pooping --- as long as her surface basking temps and UVB are up to par meaning temps being taken w/ a digital probe thermometer as this is what starts the digestion process and NO coils for a UVB w/ your UVB being properly placed and distanced for the screen on the tank your dragon will go to the bathroom -- if you want to move things along make sure shes hydrated and you can feed her some canned plain pumpkin unsweetened applesauce or some raw shredded sweet potato - those are natural laxatives -- make sure your UVB is not expired --- certain bulbs have certain expiration dates on them
