i just got a new water dragon from a pet store he is not opening his eyes moving or eating he was a pale brown when I got him but I put by his uvb lamp and he is turning greener. Does any one know what is wrong with him if you have any answers email me at whysmile@gmail.com thank you.

If you give us more details about the setup, enclosure, dates, etc it's easier to help.

If he was a little brown that could be a bad sign. But it sounds like stress to me, How big is he/she ? Has he/she been eating? what were the conditions like at the store?

As its already been said I would like to know your setup thats a very importaint part.

A bathtub soak, only with you holding he, or she, that is alot of stress on them.

He died yesterday when I got home from school. i found it out it was the bone diease the pet store didn't have a very good uvb light. Any way I got a new one today from a diffrent pet shop. my setup is a 70 gallon tank I have a uvb lamp one one side with a basking area thats the land side the water side I have a small pool thats where the heat lamp is so he has a heated pool. He has plenty of vines and logs to climb on

What about eats? I get so frustrated with breeders that are irresponsible!!!!
I am so sorry about your loss.
Sounds like a wonderful setup you have, what is the temp in there? Humidity?

i feed him crickets today my temp is 80 85 humidity is about 70.

I'm sorry about your dragon. What makes you think it was Metabolic Bone Disease? Metabolic Bone disorder is a long term, lingering, deforming, illness. It doesn't come on quickly and kill.

at the pet store they didn't even know he was water dragon he was housed with the iguana's. He draged him self around when he did move and he was very weak.

That doesn't mean that it was Metabolic Bone Disease.

A pet store that can't tell a WD from an ig apart? Wow! That's even worse than the lousiest pet store I have ever visited here!
