My beardie is pale

Is his tongue pale, too? If you are really concerned, a vet visit might be in order.
You really need a good thermometer. The ReptiSUN 10 tube bulbs are much cheaper online. Are you in a place where you can take him outside for about 45 minutes a day? The UVB from the sun is as good as a full day under a bulb.

I can't see his you his Tounge to good when he licks something but from what I can see it looks fine. I live in Michigan so if I were to take him out he would most likely die within the first 10 minutes. When he sleeps he goes by his food and water dishes and that's where the UVB bulb is. When I wake up I usually turn it on and he sits there for a couple of hours.

Yes, here in Idaho we're having a heat wave at 35. :roll:

If your bathing him a couple times per week no water dish is needed ! They can harbor bacteria , raise humidity, and some beardies fall alseep in them and can drown.. :roll:

I cannot wait for summer,its at a high of 20 in MD and they are calling for freezing rain tomorrow!

My beardie has finally got all of his color back. I also won't to the pets store and was able to get more crickets for him. Sadly I wasn't able to get any new bulbs because my parents didint have enough money to get them. When I sleep should I shut the red heat light off or leave it on because I heard they sleep better with it off.

 

[Esther19]

Yes, the red light should be off.

 

[Xxandster700xX]

Yes, the red light should be off.

No doubting you but I wouldn't have a heat source if I did that and I just wanted to make shure that you knew that when you said that.

As long as your temps don't drop below 65*F at night your OK. If they do get a CHE bulb instead of the red light

 

[Esther19]

Yes, they sleep better in complete darkness. You don't need to be concerned if your house stays at 70. 65 is okay, too. Lower than that, and you should probably have a ceramic heat emitter. It is better for them to have a nightly cool down, too. When sick, 80 is good, but without a proper thermometer, I think it would be best to let the tank cool down at night.
