Is the 105 on the basking surface or air temp? What type of thermometer are you using? What brand, rating, and style is the UVB light? How close to it can the dragon get? Temps and UVB both affect appetite.

  thanks for the reply:  the 105 is the basking temp the thermometer is a t- rex one. notsure of the rating the uvb light is twisty one he can get to 4 to 5 inches from the uv light but tends to sit about 7 / 8 inchies from it ..

you'll need to replace the UVB Coil with a UVB Tube. UVB Coils are actually harmful to the beardies eyes and don't emit enough UVB.

reptiSun 10.0 is the most recommended UVB tube and has been the most tested. it will emit the proper amount of UVB, which will help with your dragons appetite.
