angle headed dragons

your angles should be eating and have their eyes open, they also need to drink running water, sounds like they are really sulking so you need to get them going, not too hot, they are Southern but not cold, maybe around 20 degrees, UVB lots of sticks to keep them up off the ground and horizontal good luck
 
thanks guys iv got them at 20 degrees, i think it may have been i had the uvb light to close to the vertical sticks? anyway they opend there eyes today after i had the sticks swaped round for 2 days n one of them ate 3 crickets the other guy had one. I really hope there all good now but ill be keeping a very close eye on them
 
uvb light might be to strong. that mite be why there closing there eyes, try a lower strength uvb or leave the light off for a couple of hours during the day...
 
they need uvb 2 or uvb 5 strength from memory. Don't use a 10 you will burn them up.
