Brian, Yes he was kept on sand his whole life and is still kept on the stuff and I don't know what could be causing this, Sunshine is sending me the recipe for the baby food stuff to force feed him with just to see if I can naturally stimulate an eating response, otherwise I will try the reptaid? He is just constantly "glass surfing and I know he sees food when I drop it in because, he turns and strares at it....

have you played with his temps? His basking site may be hotter than he likes. Honestly, before you start force feeding him I would get him checked over by a vet. Force feeding him, though giving him nutrition, will just cause more stress and if he is having a parasite problem it will worsen it.

Good luck.

You can get the Reptaid at the Wheaton show this weekend. The lady with the chameleons and the cricket water gels in the tupperware carries it. It'll cost you $25.00, the XL is $30.00

Max, see what Kevin says he thinks you should do.

have you blocked off any ways that he can view out of his tank? That can help lower stress. Also, did you go over the lighting that the original breeder was using with him? I have heard of people having issues when a dragon went from a MVB to a tube bulb and vice versa.

At the end of the day I would suggest a vet visit as Reptaid is not medication. if there is a real serious problem reptaid will not cure it. It is just a booster, similar to a human taking large amounts of vitamin C. It will boost the immune system but if it is something serious it will not knock it down.

I have been using/selling Reptaid for well over a year now and I will flat out say that yes it is a great product but I think some of the "claims" made by the originating body on what the stuff can cure are vastly over stated. Just saying it is a waiste of money if there is a serious problem.

I may have missed it but how long have you had him?

Relocation stress can last up to a month. Typically its only a few days to a week but I have seen much longer cases.
