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.

Sunlight is my cure for issues like this with other lizards. Good sun, fresh air, quality water. Stop throwing a bunch of bugs at it. Stop trying to feed it for a few days. Dont even show it bugs or food. Then try feeding. Sometimes its psychological with lizards. The lizard may pounce on anything that moves, if it hasn't seen food in a while. But the dirt thing does make me think its lacking a certain nutrient.

I think LED lights suck personally. For uvb I recommend using T5 reptisun bulbs. Yes, I dust regularly and gutload my bugs. Goodluck!

What species is it? Most tree monitor species feed on bird eggs. I got some Black Trees feeding using quail eggs to start and after a few egg feedings they fed on crickets and small rodents. What is your basking temp?
