well from the thermometer it says 90 degress and the cool side is 80 degrees and no i havent given him a bath in a while but he is beign house with a female dragon but it really shount affect him because he has always been house with a nother dragon and whas fine is just reasently he became stressed and he lives in a 55 gallon fish tank he is shedding his tail and he does eat vegies with dragon dust

could be the other female is she alot bigger then him, this will efect him other then that he might just be going threw a spell with his shedding

like the other poster said could be the other dragon thats stressing him out. also the hot basking spot needs to be 105-115. 90 is too low. the cooler side should be about 75-80. get rid of the heat mat or UTH, i hate these for beardeds, as do most people. just use a normal house bulb or heat bulb in a fixture from above.

Hi
raise youre temp to 110-115 .
r turn in a higer watt.
r make a branch r rock towards the heatspot and then measure it with a digital termometer with a extra probe .
you stil lucky they r not impacted !!!
that can hapend with a low baskingtemp.
bye

if it is older than 6 months you should replace it. they need replaced every 6 months.
