two month's ago i bought a beared dragon from the northwestern berks reptile show .
her name is Scarlet
shes a Cawley Red x Hypo Red
8 1/2 inches when we got her decmember 2th 06
she's 11 inches

tank info
the tank she was in was
a 20 gallon with 2 other beared dragon's pretty much same size.
a heating bask at 100 degrees and a cool spot of 75 degrees

food ( we feed cricket's twice a day coated calucim/ vitamins every other day in the morning / with chopped up green's like collard mustard and maybe grapes ... some healthy beared dragon fruit's

We noticed she stopped eatting about 3 day's ago

we watched her not eat so now im either thinking stress from the other two dragon's or maybe parasites ..
( she drinks water on her own )
and she pooped this morning so shes not impacted ( the poo was like yellow ? and white only with some cut up greens in it )

we dont have the money to have her check up by are reptile doctor ( great doctor )

so we decided to move her to a extra 20 gallon by herself for now
with heating bask of 95 -100 degrees ... cool side 75 degrees ..
so im hoping shes just stressed out ? and hopfully she will eat tonight .

( im kinda scared becuase i just lost a beared dragon i had to put her down . )
any imput is nice to know ...

heres a picture of scarlet

we are in the process of making new cages and if she's not better will take her to the vet as soon as I get an appointment. Any help till then will be helpful!

Hi
raise the temp to 110-115
also i would recomend www.parazap.com .
its a herb you give 5 days in a row a month and it wil kill any worm /parasite/
you makie tea from it and give that to youre beardie .
if you wanna know how you make the tea mail me .

In 2 months she only grew 2 1/2". Don't panic but that's a pretty slow growth rate for a Dragon.

What are you using for UVB?

I'd get the basking site closer to 105 or so.

I think it was smart to separate her. There will always be a hierachy with dragons housed together. And she may the lowest on the ladder. I would try blocking her view of the other 2 if she can see them. Even being in visual contact can cause stress.

I feel at 11 inches she's pretty much outgrown a 20 gal. tank. It's good you're working on new ones.

thank's for the input .. and yes im building bigger tank's ...

her uvb is a.7 bulb .. and ill try and get her in a bigger tank asap ,
