My beardie Cyka is coming up 2 years now, he’s just over 12 inches long and he’s fed morio worms, mealworms, and given lots of veg (even though he doesn’t really eat the veg), and his tank size is roughly 60cm x 120cm x 70cm so about 133 gallons. His tank is heat up by 2 100w heat bulbs, one normal, one infrared (only replacement I could get my hands on). His tank is kept around 35 Celsius, but because his heat source is at the back, the cool side is at the front and is only around just under 30 Celsius. He has a UVB strip bulb that’s due a replacement in about 3 months time, and a heat pad at night beneath where he sleeps. He has reptile carpet substrate too.
Recently for the past couple of weeks, as soon as his lights come on and he wakes up, he’s been glass surfing very loudly. My lights are on a timer and so most days he wakes up before I do, but his scratching it so loud it wakes me up and puts me in a bad mood for the day.
I haven’t changed anything in his tank except for a heat bulb that stopped working, it was an infrared bulb too, and I replaced it with a more powerful infrared bulb (75w upgraded to 100w). Everything else is the same, and he gets bathed regularly and misted with a spray daily.
Does anyone have a clue as to why he’s doing this and what I can do to help? He’s fine by midday, just in the mornings he goes crazy and I’m worried.
