Recently Volcano started spending all day inside his hide. He'll come out first thing in the morning for a bit but then go inside his hide and stay there all day. He isn't black bearding and his head is up and he is alert. He still is eating but he hasn't pooped in days. I figured it was just because we had a cold rainy spell here in MA for like three days but now that the sun is back and the weather is warm he still is sitting in there all day. I did take him out and put him on the bed and he ran around for a good 15 - 20 mins before finding a comfy spot and settled down. I'm still concerned thou because this is new behavior for him. He would never sit in his hide all day before and now he's been doing it for almost a week now. Any thoughts? I haven't changed a thing about his cage setup, diet, or lighting.

Hey there I am pretty new here but I know that you are going to be asked a number of different questions by a few of the more knowledgeable ppl on here. Such as types of lighting for UVB ,coil or tube, if tube is it a T8 or T5 the size of the fixture and if it has a reflector as well as the distance to basking site and if it’s mounted inside the tank or on top of the screen. Basking bulb and basking temps and how are they being taken with a probe thermometer or stick on? You may also be asked about the substrate you use and the size of the enclosure. Might be good to also include the diet your feeding and how often. Good luck and I’m sure you will get some good advice

Thanks Karrie. I'll give it some time then. Maybe just a dragon funk.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
