sick gravid, skinny and dehydrated

[daniellebluetoo]

Hi folks it's been a while since I've been around, but I figured it was as good a place to start as any.

I volunteered to take my sons dragon for the weekend, to "see what I could do"

She's about 4-6 yrs old, has been bred by their new male, isn't laying eggs tho she was given a digging place with vermiculite and such. She's not eating but drinking ALOT. I've bathed her twice so far in luke warm water since yesterday.

I've tried giving her some calcium glubinate. She won't lick it.

Currently she's under a UV lamp of mine, made for people, it's not warm enough tho, so I put a UTH under her too.

What else can I do for her?

what size, & substrate should she have for a lay box?

Please feel free to email or PM me any info or useful websites.

Thanks, Danielle

I use a 5 gal. bucket with a 40-50 watt light on the top to keep them warm. I ues 50/50 sand peat mix. Keep it moist enough to make a ball in your hand
