lately my beardie has become lethargic and likes to lay on his belly and squish between things, he also skips eating sometimes.
he is 2 years old in a 55 gallon tank
i have noticed that he gets dark, his beard gets darker but not black, and he gets dark stress marks whenever his uvb and basking light are on, but whenever he is not under them (when he is out of his viv) his beard lightens and so does he, is this normal? could it be brumation? or is this a sign of illness?
background info:
10.0 T8 reptisun uvb tube (inside the tank) at 5 in from him
100 watt basking bulb
101-105 basking spot (he usually tends to gape, idk whether i should lower the temps to 95?) if so what wattage generates 95 degrees of heat
75 degrees on the cooler end
