He ate crickets. His basking temp is 98. He turns 4 months old tomorow. thanks

Thanks for the compliments! But there are a ton of other people on here too that have loads of good information.

Anyways, Try increasing the basking temps to between 105-110. And try Giving him a few Warm soaks for about 15 minutes. Also try feeling his belly for hard lumps.

what type of substrate do you use?

Also Dont worry too much , sometimes they just wait a few days before they go to the bathroom. But if he starts looking sickly then you may want to consider talking someone in to taking hi to a vet. Also If he is going into burmation, which even young dragons can do, it slows their matabolism down a lot. anyways hope this helps a little.

peace,
nate

Hi
nath already told the things
yep 110 is nice baskingtemp
i think it whas abit to cold then they digest food not so good.
and i also would masage his belly when you bath him.
then masage centle and stroke towards vent very centle.
