Hi, my 7 mo old has been scratching the sides lately and I just wanted to make sure it wasn't because of a lighting issue. I attached a pic of the viv but his reptisun 10.0 T5 HO bulb is in a reflector and is about 11 inches from the basking spot. Hot side is 105F and cool side is 88F.

As dragons get older they dont want real hot temps- its better to offer them a gradient heat like 95-100 --- a piece of decor that offers different sitting positions is good -- the UVB could be too close as well distance for a T 5 should be 12-15 inches --- all this could play a factor in the surfing as well as the weather --- its really hard to tell -- mine wants out about every year in the spring he starts in Feb and goes till March --- he too is in a Zen tank ---

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
