So I've had my 'fancy' beardie for about 2 weeks now. He (or she) is eating well. I have the temperatures right on the basking side (around 100-105 Fahrenheit) and my cool side is on the high 80s. I have a heating pan on the glass on the cool side to keep the temp regulated. I have a linear reptisun uvb 5.0. My beardie is in a 20 gallon terrarium. He's good at eating his veggies and loves chasing around his food. I originally had a compact reptisun 5.0 (came with the kit) and then he was keeping his eye closed and changed to the linear. Since then he has shed and his eyes are doing great... now on to the current problem. I noticed he's been walking on the backs of the front of his hands. So naturally I became worried and so I looked at some forums on here, but wanted to see what I was doing wrong. I was dusting his crickets with just the calcium without the d3 but saw that I need the d3, but it can be overdosed so Ive been careful. I dust the crickets with the calcium with d3 for 4 days and the other I'll be doing the without d3. So the last 3 days I used the d3(that was when I got the d3 and started using it). And today I dusted with the without d3. He seems to be improving a little but I wanted to make sure there isn't anything else I should be doing that I'm not. Also I do give him 2-3 baths a week and he eats about 7-10 small crickets in the morning and the same at night.
