bearded dragon problem

Hello, i bought 2 bearded dragons about 8 months ago. I am doing everything the breeder told me to do. give it greens, calcium dust on the crickets etc. though these last 3 months they havent grown a single inch if anything. right now my male is at 12 1/2- 13 inches and my female is about 10 inches. any idea of what might be happening?

What are your basking temps and what kind of UVB are you using?

Hello

Hello,

Well, you do need to bump up those basking temps to a range of 95-110 & make sure they are measured by either a digital probe or a temp gun for accurate readings.
The Flukers coil light is no good. You need to get a Reptisun 10 flourescent tube bulb. The best place to get it from is: www.petmountain.com
It is much cheaper there than at the petstores.
The light needs to be mounted 6-8 inches away from him, & placed directly beside the basking light.
Also are you using calcium supplementation? At his age, he needs calcium 5 times per week, in conjunction with a good quality UVB light.
