Answer
Hello Bobbie,

Can you post some pictures of your dragon for me?  
What type & brand of UVB do you use, a fluorescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?  What type of basking light are you using, a bright white light or a colored light?
Do you supplement with calcium?
Is his beard black right now, & are his eyes still sunken in?
