Bearde dragon Needs Help!

Question
Thanks for your answer! my e-mail is not working properly so I have to ask you a new question in order to ask a follow up question..sorry. but I have play sand in his tank. I have a long UVB light in the tank....in the same fixture there is a coil UVB light that is also on during the day. He is 3 years old, I give him romaine lettuce, tomatoes, some carrot, some cooked pees everyday. I feed him crickets every other day, I do dust them with calcium about once a week. I have looked and called everywhere looking for a vet that will take reptile but I can't find any! I am willing to do anything! He is in the sugar bath right now. O and most days he sits in the Window sill getting sunshine for about an hour or however long he wants. I think it could be compaction from the sand. I have tried lightly rubbing his belly to maybe loosen stuff up. I will try to get a picture for you!  

Answer
Hello Krissi,

That is fine, they only allow so many follow ups.  
How old is the tube UVB that you are using?  If it is older than 6 months then it is  most likely not putting anything out right now.
The calcium should be used at least 3 times per week, for maintaining bone mass.  
How are things going?  I am thinking that he could be impacted from the sand & is having a hard time going to the bathroom.
Some better choices for greens instead of romaine are mustard greens,collard greens, or dandelion greens.  Tomatoes are not a good vegetable to give because they are high in oxalates which will bind calcium absorption.  
It is very hard to find a reptile vet yes.  You could try:
www.herpvetconnection.com  to see if you might round one up through that site.
Until this problem is resolved, I would remove the washed & sifted play sand right now & put paper towels to make sure he doesn't ingest more of it.  
You can get some chicken or turkey baby food, along with some squash baby food.  Also, canned pumpkin & sugar free applesauce should be mixed in with that with a drop or two of olive oil to help with an impaction. Continue the daily sugar bath, & feedings but do not feed him any crickets until we figure out what is going on exactly.   

Let me know how he is doing.
