Hi everyone,
I'm assuming this is more of an attitude thing than an underlying health or stress issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else's beardie does this just incase it isn't normal.
For the past few weeks Pancake has been black bearding almost every morning, starting about 5 to 10 mins after his lights go on. After 30 to 45nins later his beard will go back to its normal colour. He doesn't show any other signs of distress, still goes about his normal morning beard stretches/flexes, but black bearding is new. Does anyone have a beardie who just isn't a morning lizard? Or could he just be mad that his salad hasn't arrived yet?
He has the same appetite and energy levels; he has a Reptisun 10.0 T5 UVB, cool side of his tank ranges from 78 to 80F, basking spot is 100F, and the humidity in his tank ranges from 45% to 46%.
