13 days and still not eatern

the pictures are fine.  its a nice looking tank just a poor choice of wood but you can fix it with the suggestions given in this thread and you can use a container like the one referenced earlier in this thread to keep your dragon in while the tank dries/airs out.

I haven't read any of your other threads so i don't know if you've already answered this or not. But have you fed him anything in the 13 or so days? Vegies, anything? I know you live in the UK but call your vets office and ask them if they have a product called Carnivore Care. I had 2 baby beardies that i rescued that were both not eating and i gave them crickets dunked in that for about a week or so. After that, they started eating on their own and are both doing well now. In force fed, i mean I open their mouths and put the drenched cricket in their mouth. At first 1 would only eat 1 cricket daily and continued to spit out the rest. So i switched to very very small crickets and each day the number increased. Good luck....If your vet doesn't have it i'm sure you can locate it online.

ok so my boy did this, i went to the vet, we did a fecal and he showed me how to open his mouth. either to get enriched baby food or stuff in. what he did was he took a Q tip, then he took the long part and kind of gently put pressure up against the top of his mouth with the middle long part of the Q tip ( the part that isnt fuzzy) then he took a little eye dropper and took up some of the baby food and put it in his mouth and removed the  Q tip to let him swallow, if for some reason baby food is frowned on, sandfire super foods makes a crested gecko diet, and fluker makes reptaid, both of these are great, each can be fed to your dragon,my vet said so, anyway doing this little by little will give your guy the stuff he needs. and keep in mind, that your dragons breathing tube is UNDER his tongue, not down his throat, so there is little chance you will choke him. not to say you should be shoving this stuff in bulk down his throat in to his shrunken tummy, when an animal doesnt eat his tummy shrinks, filling a tummy to fast, is really BAD> so yea be careful, and find a vet that sees reptiles. remember, he is tiny and doing anything $$$ and nutty is often not really...a good idea?

so try this and good luck my dear!
