Also I don’t know if the boy is bullying her I don’t think he is but they sleep together and seem fine he just pulled off some skin when she was shedding and chased her once but didn’t try to hurt her
I am very sorry but you have not provided enough information for us to help you. What types of animal are you referring to? It just states reptile: are you talking about geckos, snakes, bearded dragons, turtles.........??? Do you have some photos of the skin that was pulled off? Please post again with more information and photos. Thank you.

Is there anything I can give Lucy for protein besides worms I see she doesn't really care for them
You can offer feeder fish, crickets, mealworms and waxworms. Gut load insect prey to maximize nutritional value. This can be done by feeding them a high protein baby cereal, tropical fish flakes, fresh fruits and vegetables for 24 hours prior to offering them to Lucy.

Is my set up for my bearded dragon good? (See attachment)
Thanks for your question about Smaug, and thanks for the photo as well! I think that you have a good start to your set up, and that we can tweak a few items. First, your lighting situation appears adequate - I see a UVB light (please change this bulb every 4-6 months), a basking light, and a ceramic heat bulb. I would ensure that your temperatures are appropriate for this species, and that you are monitoring them using digital thermometers (I think that you see both a digital and analog thermometers currently) at the level of Smaug. Analog thermometers are inaccurate, so I don't recommend using them (also, they are high up on the sides of the enclosure, so they wouldn't be giving an accurate temperature read for Smaug). For the cage furniture that you have, I like that you have places for Smaug to climb and hide. However, I would recommend having a hide on both the warm side of the enclosure and the cool side so that Smaug has choices. Same for the climbing structures. I may have misse

i just got a juvenile Water Dragon names Perceval and i’m having trouble getting him to eat i’m still not used to actually holding the feeder worms like Superworms to him by hand since i’m so used to having a crested gecko that doesn’t really like th
Thanks for reaching out about Perceval and including a photo. First, check heat and other husbandry parameters, and fix any concerns. If too cold, there appetite center is depressed. Reptiles will often not eat because of other illnesses such as intestinal parasites or infections, kidney disease, dental disease, etc. A veterinary visit is recommended to help. On the photo, Perceval appears thin. Offering a Gerber's baby food (chicken, beef etc) might provide some nutrition until the primary cause is determined. Good luck.

Wander won't eat I guess because he can't see, what do I do?
If he cannot see, you will have to have him examined by a reptile veterinarian. He may have a serious vitamin or mineral deficiency. He may have to be force fed. Please schedule an appointment with a reptile or exotic animal veterinarian.
