Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Lethargic Young Dragon
Hello,
We are new Rankins Dragon owners, and I’m hoping for some advice on the lethargic behaviors our dragon is displaying.
Here are the background details:
-We purchased ‘Camo’ in May from a speciality reptile pet store. Camo is currently about 8-9 months old, and we believe she is female.
-When we first brought Camo home, she was moderately energetic. She’s run around the floor when we took her out and move freely about her cage. However, for the past ~6 weeks or so, she doesn’t move a lot. If we take her out, she just stays in one place. She will make he was around her cage, but not running around. Seems to sleep more often too.
-Her diet is primarily Dubai roaches and small crickets. She will each roughly ten insects each day. She won’t really chase them down, rather just waits for them to cross in front of her and grab them. We cannot get her to eat vegetables or fruits. We’ve been trying for the past two months, and basically have to sneak a small piece of arugula, bell pepper, or cilantro in her mouth when she is munching on a roach. Zero interest in eating vegetables herself.
-I think we setup a nice habitat for her. 40 gallon gallon tank, 100w basking bulb directly over her raised bridge, ZooMed 24 in UV (10.0), one side reads over 100 degrees, the other side around 90. Multiple places to hide and get shade. Picture is attached.
We would be really grateful for any advice on how to get her out of this lethargic slump! Thank you!

I don't keep bearded dragons, so can't make any specific comments. That said:
The pic didn't attach. I'm sure it will be useful, so please try again.
Do you dust/supplement the insects, and what with?
Have you had a vet run a fecal? If not, it cannot hurt.

Thanks for letting me know - I tried to attach again.
Yes, we are dusting with reptile calcium 3-4 times a weeks. I haven’t been to the vet yet...but that’s the next step.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see a dragon in there. A pic of the animal might help someone make suggestions.
Anyway, a qualified exotics vet could say more, for sure. If you don't already have one, searching here is a good start:

Looks like there are many near you -- you are luckier than most people in that regard.
