Since I have bought mine Water Dragon, it eats nothing. Ignores mailworms, crickets (even small), salads and fruit. Once, he has eaten a little mailworms. Has once eaten a cricket. It small (40 sm with a tail). Last time it almost constantly sleeps.

how long has it been since it ate? either way dont wait to long to take it to the vet, reptiles dont always LOOK as sick as they are so youmight want to get it to a vet asap. mine dont like to eat in front of anyone, they just freeze and stare at me and pay no attention to the food until im gone out of the room, also if it doesnt have a place to hide it may be stressed out being out in the open alll the time. but if nothing is wrong with the set up and its been in the same setup more than a week and its not eating definatly take it to the vet, it could be compacted with accidentaly eaten substrate or over run with parasites, dehydrated or stressed
good luck,
Eryk

Lack of appetite is usually the result of stress, parasites, or something else.
If you just got your dragon, I would give it a little time, and keep an eye on him. He could just be stressed out. If you have had him for a few weeks, and he is not eating and not very active, then your chances are pretty decent that he has a parasite infection.
I strongly suggest you take him to a vet ASAP.
