    Head always tilted down?

    Hey i think theres a problem with my dragon. His head is always tilted down like he's looking for something. My temps are 85 on cool and 95 on the warm side with a basking spot of 105 from a UVA/UVB lamp. I fed him crickets and mustard greens 2 days ago and he seemed fine. He just didnt eat much yesterday and wont even touch the crickets today. He pooped fine and drank fine when i gave him a bath. Is he sick?
    Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I'm not a vet so I'm not going to diagnose him, but how long have you had him and how old is he approximately?

    I reccommend you take your dragon to a vet. Anytime you notice something out of the ordinary such as that it should be checked out by a qualified vet.

    Ok, thanks for any concerns I think it was just a sad 2 days for him? Ive only had him for over a week. Gave him his bath 2 days ago and he pooped and his head seemed fine. I took him outside for a sunbath, after that, he ate fine and seems to be very active now. He will have a vet checkup this coming wednesday. thanks all
