I got my little guy almost 2 weeks ago, and he spends 95% of his time on his basking rock. Other times he is not on it is chasing crickets or pooping somewhere else in his viv. The other 5% does spend time somewhere else. But I NEVER see him on top of his log? I read it might be temperature issues but his temps are just fine, read by a temp gun. basking rock is 98-108F, around it 94-100, and cool side 70-82.
tried moving things around
he does sometimes, the other 5%, go to the middle log the half log. But he never get on his big log that I bought him. for some odd reason he actually hates the big climbing log! whenever i put him there every time he jumps off. he wont stay there for a min
but nothing.
I guess its good that he spends his time there instead of the cool side, but literally all day there?
could it be cuz he is still settling in?
He seems to be pretty settled, he eats, poops, basks, and sleeps pretty good. I can hand feed him whenever, and he is not whatsoever skittish/shy/afraid, I take him out and play with him a few times a day. He eats his veggies like a pro (LOVES squash), and overall those everything a normal beardie would. but any reason why he would spend 95% of the time there basking with his mouth open all the time?
