of impaction?? my beardy isnt acting too out of the norm but he is acting a little strange and the only thing i can think of is him eating some of the sand in the tanks(i know that none of you recomment sand but i had it for now). it is calcium sand so it shouldnt be bad but i was just wondering if there would be anything i would notice just cause he doesnt seem to be as active as normal. thank you i could use some help asap =)

The calcium sand is actually the worse. I would remove it immediately and replace it with paper towels until you can find a better substrate. If you are adamant on using sand, get play sand. It is 75% cheaper and is better than the cali-sand.

As for impaction, one of the main symptoms is not going number two.

When is the last time your beardie had a poo?
What is the size of your enclosure?
What are your temps?
What kind of lights do you use?

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
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.
