I know you said its not impacted but what kind of substrate are you using for it?

Have you been soaking it or giving it water in some other way besides just offering a dish of water?

What about greens, tried them?

It sounds to me that its not quite happy with something. What, I don't know, but it sounds more mental than physical, at the moment.

I know you said you've got a 10.0 UVB but is the cage pretty brightly lit overall?

What are your ambient temperatures on both the hot & cool end?

I would leave it alone for a week or so, not handling it except for cage cleaning, and make sure its settled in good.

Is this your first dragon or do you have some experience with them?

I wouldn't panic by any means but odds are that something's just not quite right somewhere. Dragons that size/age generally move in spurts, speed blasts, and not casual walks. Kind of like the way my wife drives, "hit the gas, hit the brakes," nothin' in between.

Sorry for all the Qs but I feel they're needed for me to get a better picture of what's going on.

Catch ya later!
