Good/bad thing???

My beardie always gets stressed when he’s left in his enclosure for too long. it’s 40 gal, got 10.0 reptisun UVB, temps are good, and he’s eating and pooping normally. if i leave him in his enclosure for more than a couple hours consecutively, he gets a dark beard and stress marks. as soon as i take him out and hold him tho, they go away. on one hand it’s really sweet that he’s attached to me like that and finds comfort with me, because the feeling is definitely mutual. on the other hand, he obviously needs to have 8 hours of his required heat and UVB, and i don’t like leaving him there if he’s so stressed. any suggestions?

My guy is like that too. I just have him out to roam around when I'm home. I have portable basking lights set up around the house that he returns to when he wants to bask and that works pretty well.

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.
