My bearded dragon has been going crazy in her tank lately, moving all over the place. But its like a mixture of glass surfing, going under her leaves and wiggling around in them, going back and forth on her hammock, jumping from her hammock to her hut, legit just moving everywhere in the tank. She’s been like this for the past 4-5 days and she’s never acted like this before. She was lethargic for a few days but not long enough for it to seem like she was brumating. I took her out her tank to roam around my apartment a couple times and she barely roamed around. Her poop has been normal, I’ve given her bathes and she’s still acting “crazy” in her tank. Someone please help :( i feel bad seeing her going “crazy” inside the tank.

How old is she? Is she digging at all ? What is the UVB your using brand and bulb and is it a coil or tube? What are the basking temps and how are you taking them? No stick ons? We need to start ruling out some things that can cause the behavior

She’s about a year and half old. I’m using zoo med’s bulb for both her bulbs. I’m using a flukers digital thermometer and her temp for her basking side is 86 while her heating side is 93 degrees. I have her on carpet but she doesn’t seem to be digging.

The basking spot is 86? That is not hot enough for proper digestion should be 95-110-- this is important- another crucial thing is the UVB-- is it a long tube fixture or a coil that is in a dome? We need to fix this ASAP-- if it's a coil- this could be the behavior issue

Fudge. I meant her basking is 93. Sorry i get basking and heating confused. But she eats regularly both her salads and crickets. Her UVB is a coil in a dome, which its been since i got her.

That is the reason for the behavior ---- basking temps need to be 95-110 and taken w/ the digital probe thermometer ---- now look on that UVB and tell me what wattage it is---- is it a 13 or a 26 watt? This is crucial ---- if you are using a 13 watt you need to get rid of it ASAP---- she is basically getting NO UVB and that is not good since she is over a year old ---- please tell me what you have

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
