Hi ya'll,
I have a question. My 8(ish?) year old bearded dragon seems to be having trouble catching his superworms. He's fine with his greens but when he's hunting his head vibrates while he's stretching out his tongue to catch his prey. I know Beardies have trouble with depth perception anyway but I was wondering if it gets worse with age. He seems to be missing the worms a lot when he used to be super accurate. I'd take him to the vet but with COVID-19 they are only seeing emergency patients. I'm not super concerned, I'm just a little worried that this might not be normal. He seems fine otherwise.
Thanks in advance!
Setup:
*120 gallon tank (long)
*2 10.0 UVB strips hung inside the tank (no screen interference but might be time to change them out)
*90-100 F on warm side 80-90 F on cool side
*3 caves of various sizes for cover, a stick and a rock for basking
*Water dish with a ramp big enough for him to sit in (not that he does)
*substrate is tile
