Beardie hates terrarium upgrade

My beardie Mushu is roughly around a year I’ve had him since he was roughly 5months - since 6/6&half months he’s been in a standard 40gallon terrarium generally he’s very laid back loves basking & hanging in his hammock while watching tv. as of Thursday(Dec19) I upgraded his tank to an Exo Terra 36x18x18=50gallons - added some new accessories as well as keeping some old. But I don’t think he likes it very much. Since Thursday night he’s been heavily glass surfing - climbing the back wall - scratching the right corner of his new mat (changed from a regular mat to a exo terra sand mat) when taken out he’s heavily more active in running around my bedroom as well as head bobbing. late Thursday night hes had watery poop - diet or appetite have not changed an temperatures are correct on both sides - any suggestions on what I can do?

Your dragon is going through what we call relocation stress. It will take him some time to get used to his new surroundings. Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for some and, other it only take a few days, be patient, he'll pull out of it.

thank-you I had a feeling it was this but didn’t think it was actually this bad - I left the room for about an hour to do some house work I came back and he completely tore almost everything apart. Half the hammock was taken down, food thrown everywhere etc - he seems to be a bit settled now watching a movie so I hope it’s soon than later

I think a year is when they also go through puberty, so that plus the relocation could be the culprit

What can I expect with him going through puberty?

I believe what you are seeing now. Running around like crazy. Glass surfing. Digging. Head bobbing. Just going crazy in general lol.

LOL great just in time for the holidays - I’m suppose to be bringing him to my parents place for Christmas (they love Mushu) they are going to think he’s nuts now
